It is the responsibility of each student to be aware of their payment deadline and to ensure fees are paid by the deadline date. Failure to pay fees on time will result in removal from all of your courses. If removed, you will be required to pay your full fees upon re-enrolment. If payment is not made, you will be removed again, and a hold will be placed on your account, restricting future registration and access to services.
Please note: There is no guarantee you will be able to rejoin your original courses if they are full or have a waitlist. Paying your fees on time is the best way to avoid disruptions to your studies.
91精品黑料吃瓜 uses PayMyTuition for both domestic and international tuition payments. It lets you pay from any bank, anywhere in the world, in any currency at better exchange rates than most banks. PayMyTuition is fast, simple, and cost-effective. Please review your account details to verify that your payment has been processed. Please note that we will not be accepting screenshots as a form of payment confirmation.
Student Loans
Before the fee payment deadline, 91精品黑料吃瓜 will be contacted by your province to confirm that you're enrolled. If you're in the right program and course load, the College will confirm your enrolment and put a hold on your account. You鈥檒l get an email when this happens.
Once the hold is in place, you automatically get a fee extension and you won鈥檛 be dropped from your classes. Once you get your student loan money, you must pay your fees in full within 5 business days. If you don鈥檛, you鈥檒l be removed from your courses and waitlists.
To check your status, log in to your myOkanagan account. Go to the Student tab, click Self-service, choose Student Account, then choose View Holds. If everything is confirmed, you鈥檒l see a hold called 鈥淪tudent Loan Approved鈥 with the dates listed.
If no hold is placed on your account by the fee payment deadline, you must pay your fees by the regular payment deadline.
If you're approved, the province asks 91精品黑料吃瓜 to confirm that you're in the right program and taking enough courses. Once that is confirmed, we put a note on your student account so you won鈥檛 be dropped for not paying by the deadline. We鈥檒l also email you to let you know. After you get your loan money, you must pay your fees within 5 business days.
Canadian student loan funds are disbursed directly to you at the start of class. Money will not be sent to you before that date.
For 91精品黑料吃瓜 students, the entire amount is sent to you and then you are responsible for paying your fees.
After you get your loan money, you must pay your fees within 5 business days.
No, if you have an approved student loan application on file, you will not be dropped from your classes due to non-payment.
Yes, the extension is automatic if you have an approved loan.
This info is available in your myOkanagan portal. Go to Self-service < Student < Student Records < View Holds. The hold type you are looking for is F5.

Apply early! Processing can take week, so aim to apply well before the fee payment deadline

- Dropped classes or graduation delays
Protect yourself:
- Never let someone you don鈥檛 know pay your tuition
- Don鈥檛 share your student ID with third parties
