Pre-Authorized Payment (PPL) Plan

 

The Pre-Authorized Payment (PPL) Plan is a program open to graduate students.

Each Academic Year, you must enroll in a payment plan for that academic year if you wish to participate. For example, if you participated in 2012-2013, you will not be rolled automatically in the 2013-2014 plan.

You may self-enrol in the Fall 2013 payment plan from July 1st, 2013 to August 31st, 2013*

Starting May 2013, payments are withdrawn on the 24th day of each month, from May to the following April.

This page provides detailed information on how the PPL Plan works, as well as how to enrol.

Please note that If you have unpaid debt from a previous term, you may NOT participate in a payment plan until the outstanding debt is paid.   * Although enrolment in the PPL will be available until October 12th, 2013, students who enrol in the PPL AFTER AUGUST 31ST, 2013 may be subject to a Late Payment Fee of $150.00 .

  Enrolment
  Enrolment in the Pre-Authorized Payment Plan is done online through the SOLUS Student Center - paper applications are no longer accepted. Self-Enrolment for the Fall / Winter plan is open in SOLUS July 1st to August 31, 2013.*   Participants in the Fall / Winter PPL will be automatically rolled into the Summer PPL at the end of April unless the student notifies the Office of the University Registrar.   Once you have enrolled into a plan your payment schedule in SOLUS will display the amount of the payments and their scheduled withdrawal dates.   * NOTE: Although enrolment in the PPL will be available until October 12th, 2013, students who enrol in the PPL AFTER AUGUST 31ST, 2013 may be subject to a Late Payment Fee of $150.00 .
  Making changes to your PPL
  Banking changes can be made online on SOLUS.   Ensure your banking information is correct. Missing or incorrect banking information may result in missed payments. If you need to change your banking information once withdrawals have begun, do so between the 25th and 15th of the next month (i.e. May 25th to June 15th).   Please note that any changes to your fees (tuition, residence, meal plans, etc.) during the course of the PPL will affect your plan. Your monthly payment may change. Additional fees will be added and spread equally over your remaining payments.   You should check your PPL schedule on SOLUS regularly, and at the very least, monthly.
  Important Notes
  Items returned by your bank, for any reason will be subject to a $40.00 administrative fee. The University reserves the right to terminate this arrangement should any deduction be returned in the case of non-sufficient funds (NSF), or a closed account.  Please note that Lines of Credit, credit card cheques, and U.S. accounts are NOT permitted with reference to the PPL Plan.
