The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a financial aid program that can make it easier for students to pay for college.

OSAP offers two different types of funding:

• Grants: money you don’t have to pay back
• Loans: money you need to repay

BONUS: You can decline the loans and only accept grants (free money!).

Start your application

Applying for OSAP is easy and only takes about 10 minutes!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Tuition Deposit Payments for Domestic Students

All full-time students, new and returning, must pay a $500.00 non-refundable Tuition Deposit in their initial term of an academic year. This non-refundable $500.00 deposit payment secures their seat in that program for the year and is put towards the balance of fees owing for that term. Please view the Payment Due Dates site for more detailed due date information.

Upon payment of the $500.00 non-refundable Tuition Deposit, the remaining fees are deferred automatically and the student is provided with an email indicating their Balance Due Date. The Balance Due Date will be at the end of the first month of their term. If a student is late paying that remaining balance, they will be assessed a $150.00 late payment penalty.

Are you a New Student?
Are you a Returning Student (Initial Term)?
Are you a Returning Student (Subsequent Term)?
Are you a Sponsored Student?

Payment Options: Learn more about your payment options.  Credit card payments are not accepted for students registered in full-time programs. All students whose fees are received after the Balance Due Date will be charged a late-payment fee of $150.

$500.00 non-refundable tuition deposit deferrals (OSAP students)

Algonquin College students who have applied for OSAP are eligible for a deferral of their $500.00 non-refundable tuition deposit.  Eligible students must have applied for OSAP funding for the applicable academic year and be receiving enough funds in their first OSAP installment to pay for their first semester tuition and compulsory fees.

IMPORTANT NOTE: After you have completed your tuition fee deferral, should your circumstances change and you become ineligible for government financial aid, you will be liable for the $500.00 non-refundable, tuition fee deposit irrespective of your decision to continue your studies.

Should you wish to withdraw from your program of study for any reason, you must inform the Registrar’s Office in writing within 10 business days of the start of your program to be entitled to a refund of your tuition fees for the term less the tuition fee deposit. Failure to do so will render you liable for the full tuition fees incurred for the term.

OSAP and Out-of-Province Financial Aid Applicants

Eligible students who have successfully applied for OSAP or Out-of-Province Financial Aid for the Fall term can defer their $500.00 non-refundable tuition deposit on their ACSIS account by clicking on “Defer Your Fees” under the FEES & PAYMENTS Menu Options.

Do I need to make a tuition deposit?
Would I ever need to make more than one tuition deposit in an academic year?
Is my tuition deposit a payment against my program tuition fees?
When is my $500.00 tuition deposit due?
What if I change my mind after making my tuition deposit but before the start of the term?

Do I need to make a tuition deposit?

One $500 non-refundable tuition deposit per academic year (September – August) will be required.  OSAP and Out-of-Province financial aid applicants may be eligible to defer their $500 non-refundable tuition deposit through their ACSIS account. The $500 tuition deposit will be requested in your first study term each year and will be applied to your fee balance. In most cases, the first study term will be in the Fall.

Would I ever need to make more than one tuition deposit in an academic year?

You would need to make more than one tuition deposit payment or deferral in an academic year only if you elect to switch your program of study during the academic year.

Is my tuition deposit a payment against my program tuition fees?

Yes, your $500 tuition deposit payment will be applied towards your term tuition fees. This payment will reduce the balance of the term fees that will be due three weeks after the start of your term.

When is my $500.00 tuition deposit due?

If your first study term of the academic year is Fall, your deposit will be due June 15

If your first study term of the academic year is Winter, your deposit will be due November 15

If your first study term of the academic year is Summer, your deposit will be due April 1

Note: If any of these dates fall on a holiday or weekend, the due date for fee payment or deferral for OSAP applicants will be the first working day following the holiday/weekend.

What if I change my mind after making my tuition deposit but before the start of the term?

Your $500 tuition deposit is non-refundable if you decide to not attend Algonquin College. If you are only making changes to your program choice at Algonquin, your $500 non-refundable tuition deposit will be applied against the tuition for your new program at Algonquin College.

If you are an OSAP or Out-of-Province financial aid applicant who completed a tuition deposit deferral on ACSIS, and decide to no longer attend Algonquin College or are ineligible for government financial aid, you will be liable for the $500.00 non-refundable tuition fee deposit.

What if I withdraw after my tuition fees have been paid in full?

If you withdraw up to the 10th day of class, you will be eligible for a refund of the full tuition and ancillary fees paid for the term less the $500 non-refundable tuition deposit.

If you completed a tuition deposit deferral on ACSIS, and withdraw up to the 10^th day of class, you will be liable to pay the $500.00 non-refundable tuition fee deposit.  If the college has received any OSAP payments within this time period, the remaining credit (less the $500 non-refundable tuition deposit) will be returned to the National Student Loans Service Centre.

If you withdraw after the 10th day of class, you are responsible to pay the full fees for that term and will not be eligible for a refund.

When is the balance of my tuition fees due?

The remaining balance of your tuition fees will be due three weeks after the start of your term. You will be receiving a tuition deposit confirmation email once you have made your tuition deposit payment or deferment, giving you an exact date as to when your remaining balance will be due for that term.

We encourage you to use online methods of payments and to not wait until the last day to make your payment. When paying by online banking or telephone banking please allow 3 days for processing. By paying early and paying online you will avoid line-ups and long waits at the Registrar’s Office and be able to focus on your studies.

What if my fees are not paid in full by the due date?

A late fee of $150 will apply the next day if your fees are not paid in full by the balance due date each term. Avoid the late fee by paying your remaining balance in full by the balance due date (provided in your tuition deposit confirmation email).

What financial assistance is available to help with my education expenses?

Finding the funds to pay for tuition, housing, books and supplies can be a challenge. Please visit the Algonquin College Financial Aid & Student Awards website for information regarding student loans, bursaries and other forms of financial assistance available to students.

What if I have applied for OSAP or Out-of-Province financial aid and will be receiving funding?

Algonquin College Students who have applied for OSAP or Out-of-Province financial aid may be eligible for a deferral of their $500.00 non-refundable tuition deposit.
Eligible students who have successfully applied for OSAP or submitted their Out-of-Province financial aid paperwork to the Financial Aid and Student Awards Office can defer their $500.00 non-refundable tuition deposit on their ACSIS account by clicking on “Defer Your Fees” under the  FEES & PAYMENTS Menu Options.

What if I do not meet my admission conditions after I have paid my tuition deposit towards that program?

If you do not meet the admission conditions for your program by the start of term and as a result are not allowed entry into that program at Algonquin College, your $500 tuition deposit will be refunded.

Bursary Applications

How to Apply

Students can apply for all in-year bursaries administered by Algonquin College by submitting one application!

The application cycle is open once per term (Fall, Winter, Spring).  Only registered students for the current term can apply online through the ACSIS Bursary Portal. 

1. Go to acsis.algonquincollege.com
2. Sign in with your student number and password, or create a new login
3. Under the Financial Aid heading click on ‘Bursary Portal’.

Applying for a bursary does not guarantee acceptance, as the number of applicants can often surpass the bursary funds available. When this occurs, applicants are chosen based on the highest amount of financial need. Bursary applications received after the deadline will not be accepted.

Students awarded a bursary are required to have their Social Insurance Number (SIN) registered on the college system for income tax purposes. If you do not have your SIN registered with the college when you submit your application, an email notification will be sent to you with instructions.

How an Awarded Bursary is Paid Out

If you currently owe fees to Algonquin College your bursary will first be put towards your student account. If you are expecting to return next semester, your bursary will be added to your student account to go towards your future fees. If you withdraw from your program you are no longer eligible to receive this bursary and it will be removed.

If you are in a graduating level or are a sponsored student, you will receive a cheque by mail for the remaining balance of the bursary. Please review your address on your ACSIS account.

The bursary applicant pool is constantly changing so there is no guarantee you will receive a bursary next time. As a result, we strongly recommend your budget for the rest of the year does not include it.

If you are currently an OSAP recipient, you do not have to report the bursary to OSAP; we will do so on your behalf.

For more information please email studentawards@algonquincollege.com or visit one of our Financial Aid Officers in the Admissions Office, Room 133 and 134.
