Late Payments

You must pay your tuition and mandatory fees by the posted fee payment deadline for each semester. Missing a deadline can result in being removed from your courses.

Fall semester

There are two fee payment deadlines in the fall.

First fee deadline — August

If your fees are not paid in full by the first fall fee deadline, you will be de-registered from all courses. A $150 re-registration fee will be added to your account and you will need to rebuild your schedule.

Course availability is not guaranteed, so paying early or by the August fee deadline is strongly recommended.

Final fee deadline — September

The final fall fee deadline aligns with the last day to adjust your registration (add/drop classes).

If your tuition and mandatory fees are not paid in full by the deadline, you will be de-registered from your courses and charged a $150 re-registration fee.

Please note you will be reinstated in all courses that you were dropped.

To be reinstated:

• You will receive instructions at your MRU email address if this happens which also includes balance owing 
• Please follow the steps in the email and pay all fees in full before the reinstatement deadline.

Important: how to pay if you missed the deadline

After the fee payment deadline, payments can no longer be made through MyMRU. You will need to pay online using online banking or a credit card.

Winter, Spring and Summer Semesters

There is one fee payment deadline in the Winter, Spring and Summer semesters. This deadline aligns with the last day to adjust your registration (add/drop classes).

If your tuition and mandatory fees are not paid in full by the deadline, you will be de-registered from your courses and charged a $150 re-registration fee.

Please note you will be reinstated in all courses that you were dropped.

To be reinstated:

• You will receive instructions at your MRU email address if this happens which also includes balance owing 
• Please follow the steps in the email and pay all fees in full before the reinstatement deadline.

Getting a Receipt

Mount Royal cannot access or print payment confirmations or transaction records from Plastiq or your bank. 

When paying through Plastiq, you will be asked to provide an email address. A payment confirmation will be sent to that email.

f you pay through online banking, log in to your bank account to view your transaction details.

Financial Holds

If you have a Financial Hold on your account it is because you have an outstanding balance. For example, tuition, library fees, orientation or residence fees. 

A Financial Hold will prevent you from:

• Adjusting course registration
• Viewing final grades
• Requesting transcripts

Refunds

Eligible students with a credit balance after the final fee deadline will be automatically refunded each term starting after the Reinstatement deadline.

Mount Royal issues refunds by Interac e-Transfer, regardless of how the original payment was made.

You will receive a notification at your MRU email address with instructions to choose where to deposit your funds.

Please ensure your personal information (address) is up to date in MyMRU> My Program> Personal Information. Refunds cannot be processed if required information on your account is inactive or outdated.

Set up Autodeposit for future refunds 

To make future refunds easier, you can set up Interac e-Transfer Autodeposit through your financial institution’s online or mobile banking.

Navigate to the Autodeposit section, usually found in the Interac e-Transfer settings. Register your email address or mobile number, link it to your bank account, and complete the confirmation steps sent by email or text message.

Carrying a credit balance forward

Students with a credit balance may request that the funds be applied to a future term instead of receiving a refund.

To request this, email studentfees@mtroyal.ca within one week after the last day to adjust registration (add/drop). Use your MRU email account and include:

• Your full name
• Your student ID number
• The term you want the credit transferred to
