Pay your tuition

Make payments 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from anywhere in the world.

How to sign up

1. Contact your financial institution to set up an online banking account if you do not have one.

2. Set up the University of Manitoba as a payee. You need to provide an account number: this is your seven-digit University of Manitoba student identification number.

• If your financial institution requires more than seven digits as an account number, enter zeros as your lead digits (e.g., 001234567).

Allow two to three business days to see your payment posted to your Aurora account. Once the funds are received, the university will record your payment date as the date processed by the bank, not the date that we receive it.

Where possible, please pay using the online banking method to avoid potential wait times and card spending limits.

• Your financial institution sets maximum limits on debit card spend and withdrawal activity.
  
  Review your bank account information or check with your financial institution before visiting the Cashier’s Office to ensure your daily and transaction dollar limits are sufficient for your transaction amount.

We are accepting cheques, bank drafts and money orders by mail or through our Fort Garry campus Drop-Box located at 138 University Centre (outside the Cashier’s Office), or in person.”

Completing your cheque, bank draft or money order

• Use the current date (post-dated cheques will be assessed applicable late fees)
• Make it payable to "University of Manitoba"
• Ensure the written and numerical amounts match
• Sign your name (for cheques)
• Write your student number and phone number on the front (for cheques)

Notes:

• A $30 charge, plus applicable late fees, will apply to all returned cheques.
• If we receive two Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) cheques from you, we will not accept additional cheques from you.

How to submit your payment

You can send your payment by mail or use our Express Drop Box, as detailed below.

Send your payment by mail

Ensure you have followed the instructions above for completing your cheque, bank draft or money order and mail it to:

Mail delivery is unpredictable, timeframes vary greatly and there are no guarantees provided by postal services. Payments received past the fee deadline date will be assessed late payment penalties regardless of the postmark date.

Submit your payment through our Drop Box

The Drop Box is currently only available at our Fort Garry Campus. It is located at the Cashiers' Office at 138 University Centre.

Although you can pay your university fees by credit card, we recommend that you first consider other methods of payment to avoid paying additional charges or convenience fees.

• A non-refundable convenience fee of 2.5 per cent of the fee payment is added to your payment total.
• You can only make credit card payments from your Aurora account.
• Visa and Mastercard are the only cards accepted.
• Maximum payment is the amount owing on your account.

Additional fees may be charged for these alternate options.

To find out if you are required to pay tuition fees in advance, please contact your local Canadian visa office for more information.

Find visa offices outside Canada.

• If you are required to pay tuition and other student fees before your arrival at the University of Manitoba, the money we receive from you will be held pending your arrival in Canada and your registration in classes.
• In the event you do not come to the University of Manitoba, the deposit, minus any non-refundable fees and charges, will be refunded.
  • To receive the refund, you must send us a copy of the letter from the embassy indicating that your study permit application was denied or withdrawn. Email the letter and your request to Refund_Request@umanitoba.ca.

If your online bank statement is not sufficient proof for a receipt of your tuition and fees, you can request one by emailing StudentPayment@umanitoba.ca.

If you require a receipt for tax purposes, please note that this information is included in the T2202A tax form available to students in February each year.

We send the receipt to the email account referenced in your Aurora account. We can also send you an original receipt by mail upon request.

Receipt requests will not be processed for funds in transit.

Money sent to the university will be used only to pay tuition and other student fees. This policy protects students, the funder and the university. It also complies with Canada’s anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regulations. Any overpayments in your university student account will be applied to your future term balances.

Funds that you will use for personal and living expenses should not be sent to the university; they must be sent to your personal bank account. For instructions on opening a Canadian bank account, please visit Money matters.

Sponsored students should first verify that the application form was submitted by their sponsoring agency. To do this, log in to your fee account in Aurora and select the “View sponsorship” link at the bottom of the page.

If there is no indication that you have a sponsor, you must pay the full outstanding balance yourself and request reimbursement from your sponsoring agency.

If you have questions, please contact us at sponsoredstudent@umanitoba.ca.

The sole and final responsibility for payment of the account lies directly with you, the student. If a sponsor fails to remit the sponsorship application or payment of fees, you will be subject to the University of Manitoba’s standard collection proceedings, which includes but is not limited to:

• account holds, denied access to administrative and academic services
• late payment charges
• deregistration from future terms

Application fees are the responsibility of you, the student, and will not be invoiced to a sponsor.

You must not delay payment of fees in anticipation of third-party sponsorships. Any late payment fees that accrue prior to the authorization of a sponsorship arrangement will not be reversed. While sponsors do not typically cover late payment penalties, if they are a result of the sponsor sending in a late application, the charges will not be reversed.

If a sponsor requires proof of enrolment, you can obtain this for them by visiting Enrolment verification.

You will still receive general notifications through Aurora Student or your UM email accounts regarding general university payment deadlines.

If you have prepaid your account, received a government student loan or a scholarship/bursary and the sponsor payment results in a credit balance, you may request a refund payment. For instructions, read "How to request a refund payment" under Refunds.

You are responsible for providing additional information such as grades or attendance to the sponsor if the sponsor requires the information.

You are responsible for opting out of UMSU Health and Dental Coverage if you already have alternate coverage. Learn more on the UMSU Health and Dental page.

The transfer of funds from an RESP to the university is not considered a form of sponsorship.

You are responsible for paying the charges for documents required by a sponsor and these will not be invoiced to a sponsor.

The sponsoring agency must complete the Sponsorship Authorization form and submit it before the start of the first sponsored term in each academic year.

• The completed form authorizes the University of Manitoba to invoice the agency for tuition and fees for the student(s) listed in the request.
• If there are any changes to the sponsor information, authorized coverage or addition of new sponsored students during the year, a new form must be submitted prior to the start of the term.
• Please identify the terms being covered by placing a check mark in the applicable boxes.

Payment must be made upon receipt of the invoice. If payment is not received, late payment penalties, per student, will be added to the next term’s billing.

If payment is not received within 30 days of billing, a hold will be placed on the sponsored student’s account that prevents further registration, release of grades or transcripts and other administrative and academic services.

If payment is not received within 90 days of billing, sponsorships for future terms will not be accepted until the account is paid in full and a deposit for future terms is received.

Any restrictions or contingencies on the authorization are not allowed. For example, if the sponsor requires proof of attendance, grades, transcripts or notification of class withdrawals before paying, the university will not authorize the third-party billing. In such cases the student is responsible for paying their fees and should request reimbursement from the sponsoring agency.

Transcripts must be obtained from the Registrar’s Office only. Find more information at Transcripts.

Find information on cost estimates and fees at Undergraduate tuition and fees.

Class attendance at the university level is not mandatory and is therefore not recorded. When a sponsor does require this information, arrangements must be made in advance and it is the student’s responsibility to have their instructors complete any required forms.

If books and supplies are included, the sponsor must also submit the sponsorship form directly to the UM BookStore.

Find more information on sponsored students at Sponsored student accounts.

We can pay your refund by e-transfer if you have a Canadian bank account. This is the fastest method of delivery available.

If your request is approved and you have selected “e-transfer” as a payment option, you will receive two emails to your University of Manitoba email account from the University of Manitoba:

• The first email is an informational email about the process.
• The second email with the e-transfer funds prompts you to log into your bank account and answer the security question before selecting an account to deposit the funds to.

We can pay your refund by cheque if you have a Canadian bank account.

If your request is approved and you have selected “cheque” as a payment option, a cheque will be mailed to the address listed on your Aurora account. Ensure the address on the account is your current mailing address.

The method of payment for refunds resulting from overpayments from sources outside Canada will depend on the original transfer method.

Funds will be returned through the original payment method used (e.g., Convera or PayMyTuition).
