How to Defer Tuition Payments

Defer Your Minimum Payment to Register

You can defer your tuition payment if you are/will be receiving student loans. The process is slightly different based on whether you are receiving OSAP or student loans from a province outside of Ontario.

To view your invoice, sign into your ACORN account, select Finances and then View Invoice.
Before the registration deadline, click on OSAP/Gov’t Deferral under Financial Accounts.
- If your tuition fee deferral application is successful, ACORN will change your status from “INVIT” (invited) to “REG” (registered).
After the registration deadline, you will need to take the following documents to the School of Graduate Studies:
- a copy of your tuition invoice from ACORN and
- proof that you will be receiving OSAP (or other) funding
Questions concerning OSAP should be directed to Enrolment Services at osap.staff@utoronto.ca or phone 416-978-2190

You will need to bring or fax or email a copy of your provincial Notice of Assessment to Enrolment Services so that your online fee deferral access can be activated.
- Please write your University of Toronto student number on the Notice of Assessment.
- It takes approximately three business days to process requests.
After three working days, and before the registration deadline, apply to defer the minimum payment to register. Follow the instructions above.
