Paying tuition and fees - Undergraduate Credit Students

The following information offers you all you need to know about your undergraduate credit tuition and mandatory fees. There are many options available for you to pay tuition and residence fees at Mount Royal University.

Please be advised that effective Nov. 13, 2012, credit card payments are changing. Mount Royal University will only accept credit card payments online using a third party, Plastiq , for undergraduate credit tuition, mandatory fees and residence fees. Using Plastiq enables the University to continue to offer you the option of making fee payments online by Visa and MasterCard.

We encourage you to learn more about the different payment methods available. All other payment option methods listed below such as in person, by mail or through online and telephone banking are remaining unchanged with the exception of credit card payments only being available online through Plastiq and personal cheques no longer being accepted.
