Registration

Compulsory fees for registration include academic fees (i.e. tuition), incidental fees (i.e. health insurance), and ancillary fees (i.e. recital fees). Academic fees vary depending on the degree program and year of admission to the Faculty of Music. 

For detailed instructions on making payments from within Canada, from outside Canada, prepayments, and payments from third-party loans or grants like OSAP, navigate to the "Making Payments" section of the Students Account website, https://www.fees.utoronto.ca, through the menu at the top of the page, and select the section that is relevant for you.

It is your responsibility to view your fee invoice on ACORN (available as of 3^rd week in July), review the appropriate payment instructions on the Student Accounts page, and make your tuition payment before the registration deadline. It is recommended that you make the minimum payment indicated on your Fees Invoice by August 23rd to ensure your registration is complete by the first day of classes. Students who have not paid or deferred their fees by the 13th of September will be removed from their courses. Re-registration requires approval and a financial penalty, and does not guarantee a spot in previously enrolled courses.

Fee payment deferrals are available to students who have applied for OSAP/their provincial loan program on time, and students who are receiving funding that exceeds their minimum payment to register, as long as you do not owe fees from previous sessions. Fee deferrals are requested on ACORN for PhD, DMA and MA students.

Students have the following options to pay fees:

• Full tuition (both Fall and Winter together) by the Fall term payment deadline (August 23), OR

• By term (separate Fall and Winter payments). Fall tuition payments are due by August 23; Winter tuition payments are due by November 30

Please note that payments are not made in person at U of T. The following methods are acceptable to pay your fees:

1. You can pay your fees in-person at any one of the chartered banks using a printout of the ACORN account in Invoice Format. See the “Make a Fee Payment Within Canada”, “In Person at Your Bank” section on Student Accounts.   OR

2. Set up U of T as one of your payee accounts for online banking, by providing your financial institution with your U of T student account number and the name “University of Toronto”. Your account number is located on the top right-hand corner of your invoice. Your account number is made up of the first 5 letters of your surname and the 10 digits of your student number. Make sure you keep your bank verification/ confirmation number. This will be your proof of payment. See “Make a Fee Payment Within Canada,” “Online Banking Payment” on Student Accounts.   OR

3. You can make a payment on your credit card, with a convenience fee of 1.75% of all payments, on ACORN. See “Make a Fee Payment Within Canada,” “Mastercard of Visa Credit Card Payment” on Student Accounts. 

4. Payments from outside of Canada can be made with Convera or Flywire. See the “Make a Fee Payment from Outside of Canada” section on Student Accounts.

Once you make your payment, check ACORN to see if your payment has been received or your deferral has been processed. In the “Academics” box on your ACORN dashboard, you will see your registration status for the Fall/Winter Session:

•Registered = Your registration is complete; no further action is necessary

•Invited = You risk being removed from your courses. Check your status again in a few days to make sure your payment or deferral request was successfully received.

Beginning October 15th, a monthly service charge of 1.5% will be added on to your outstanding balance until it is completely cleared, unless you have deferred your tuition fees. Payments are applied to the oldest charges on your account first; there is no distinction between the type of charge, e.g. residence fees, academic fees, etc.
