International students can pay their student fees from outside of Canada through Western Union’s GlobalPay for Students. This option allows you to pay your student fees in the currency of your choice.

Note: This is not a payment through Western Union Agent locations (except in the case of some payments from India). You will simply be paying a Western Union Bank account, and then Western Union transfers the funds to University of Guelph in Canadian dollars.

Step by Step Instructions:

Step 1: Navigate to the Western Union GlobalPay for Students Website

Click here to use Global Pay

Step 2: Provide Student/Payer Information
Complete the required fields on website (student’s University of Guelph-Humber ID number, student's first and last name, email address, etc.) and select NEXT.

Step 3: Enter Payment Details

• Enter the amount you wish to pay in Canadian dollars.
• Select the payment options you wish to use and the currency would like to pay in* from drop down list.** Select NEXT.

Step 4: Bank Transfer

• Print your payment instructions and make the payment. For most countries this will be by either credit card or wire at your bank.***
• If by wire transfer instruct your bank to wire transfer funds to the Western Union bank account indicated on your payment instructions.
  • The reference number on the payment instructions is very important. It MUST be included on your payment in order for the funds to be correctly and promptly applied to your student fee account. A reference number should NOT be used more than once. If you are making a second payment, or have a quote that has expired, please go through Steps 1-3 again to get new payments instructions with a new reference number.
• The payment must be sent within 72 hours of the quote or Western Union shall use the current exchange rate to convert the currency. The expiry of the quote is indicated on the bottom of the payment instructions that you have printed.

 

Step 5: Payment Finalized

• While the transfer is in progress your account will continue to show the outstanding amount.
• University of Guelph-Humber will post the Canadian dollar equivalent to your student account, generally two to five days after your local bank initiates payment.

 

* If your local currency is not an option available in the system, you will need to choose another currency on the list to arrange your payment, or contact accquest@uoguelph.ca for more information. The subject line should read “Western Union payment issue”. Please indicate what currency you are trying to pay in, or where you are trying to pay from, and what the precise issue is.

** When paying from China or India, you will be given your rate when you process your transfer per the payment instructions.

*** For payments from India, China and South Korea, you will be instructed to pay on a particular website or bank (e.g. ICICI for India).

• Non-Certified Cheques

Effective June 29, 2021, credit cards will no longer be an accepted form of payment at the University.

This decision was made after much consideration. As you may appreciate, significant fees are charged to the University for offering credit cards as a payment method. Over the past decade, many Canadian post-secondary institutions have stopped accepting credit cards as a payment option given the associated processing costs.

We understand that discontinuing credit cards as a payment method isn’t ideal for some of you. However, this decision will result in significant cost-savings for the University, and those monies saved will further our ability to reinvest in our programs, equipment and student services.

Accepted Methods of Payment

Effective June 29, 2021 credit cards will no longer be an accepted form of payment at the University of Guelph-Humber. The following tuition and fees payment options available are:

• Internet Banking, Telephone Banking or In-Person at Your Bank (preferred method of payment for domestic students)
• PayMyTuition (preferred payment method for international payments)
• Global Pay for Students
• HigherEd Points (Aeroplan® Miles)
• Wire or Bank Transfer

Paying your tuition with OSAP grants & loans

Your full-time OSAP funding is released in two portions; 60% of the funding is released in the fall semester, and the remaining 40% is released in the winter semester. The University of Guelph-Humber bills each semester separately, depending on the number of courses you are registered in for the respective semester.

Your OSAP does not cover your fall $200 non-refundable registration deposit. You are required to submit the $200 non-refundable registration deposit by the August payment deadline.

Student Financial Services must confirm your enrolment before funding is released. To be confirmed, you must be enrolled in all your courses and have a complete and error-free OSAP application. Confirmation of enrolment begins approximately 10 days before the start of each term. Monitor your OSAP and WebAdvisor accounts. Monitor Account View on WebAdvisor to view when confirmation of enrolment is complete; there will be a notification at the top, right-hand corner in Account View. Funding will be received 5-10 business days after confirmation of enrolment is complete.

Receipt of your OSAP funding
Your OSAP funding will automatically be remitted to your student account. Please verify on WebAdvisor that your funds have been applied to your student account.
a) If you have more OSAP funding than is required to pay your student account, the remainder will automatically go to your bank account. If your funds have not been applied to your student account yet but your confirmation of enrolment (see Account View on WebAdvisor) has been completed and you have enough OSAP to pay your term balance, you do not need to make a payment to your student account.

Example:
OSAP funding for the semester = $4000.00
Tuition and fees for the semester = $3700.00
Money deposited to student's bank account = $300.00
Student to pay before deadline = $0.00

b) If you are not receiving enough OSAP to pay your student account, please pay the outstanding balance by the payment deadline. Your student account must be paid in full by the payment deadline to avoid late fees and/or de-registration. If you are living in residence, your OSAP funding may not cover all of your fees, so please remember to check your student account on WebAdvisor.

Example:
OSAP funding for the semester = $2000.00
Tuition and fees for the semester = $3700.00
Money deposited to student's bank account = $0.00
Student to pay before deadline = $1700.00
