6. Frequently Asked Questions

What if my grades drop?

Our offer of admission indicated that you must maintain your admission average. When we receive your final grades, we will review them. Should your grades drop below your admission average we reserve the right to withdraw our offer of admission. We will be in touch with you immediately once this decision is made.

I didn't get an admission package. What do I do?

If you've been admitted to York, you will receive an offer of admission package.

If you see, after checking the status of your application online, that you've been offered admission and have not received a package, you may contact the Office of Admissions at 416-736-5000 to check its whereabouts.

What happens if I'm "conditionally" admitted? How do I find out if I'm admitted for sure?

Conditional admission may be offered on excellent predicted or interim grades. In order to be considered for conditional admission we need to receive an interim transcript with all of your first semester or mid-term grades as soon as possible.

We'll be in touch with you as soon as we receive your official transcript reflecting your final grades.

What financial assistance do you offer?

York provides many forms of financial assistance to students.

When is my course payment due? Can I pay in installments?

Once you have paid your enrolment fee and enrolled in your courses you will be issued a Student Account Statement. Your statement will reveal all recent account transactions, your account balance and the 'minimum payment due' to the University.

Payments on your student account are due on the 10th of each month. You cannot pay in installments; if you do not pay the 'minimum payment due' to the University by this date, you will be charged a late fee of 1% monthly on the 'amount due' from your last statement.

For more detailed information, please refer to the sample statement.

How do I pay my tuition?

The easiest way to pay your enrolment deposit, residence deposit or your tuition is through telephone or Internet banking.

Do I need to attend my Enrolment Appointment?

Enrolment Appointments are mandatory for all new students. You will not be able to enrol in courses without attending this appointment first.

If you live outside Ontario and are unable to attend your Enrolment Appointment in person, alternative arrangements can be made by contacting the advising office after you have been admitted. Information about who to contact will be included with your offer of admission.

When do I need to book my Enrolment Appointment?

Information about booking your Enrolment Appointment will be included with your offer of admission.

How do I enrol in classes?

You enrol in classes after you have been admitted. Information about how to enrol is provided to all newly admitted students during Enrolment Appointments.

When do I pay my deposit and tuition fees?

You have to pay a $450 deposit within five business days of enrolling in courses*. The balance is billed to you through Student Accounts Statements which are sent out on the 18th of each month. Specific and more detailed information about the payment of tuition fees and requests for deferrals for those receiving government assistance will be given to you along with your enrolment materials after you have been admitted to the university.

*Current Ontario high-school students will not be required to submit this deposit prior to June 12.

How do I apply for OSAP (student loans)?

OSAP, short for Ontario Student Assistance Program, is a government sponsored financial aid system to assist Ontario students with the cost of their post-secondary education. The provincial government administers the program, however, application forms are available at the Financial Aid office of any Ontario university.
