Payment methods

Methods of payment include debit card, cheque, money order, bank draft, and online bank bill payment.

King’s students applying for Canada Student Loans and Provincial Loans must have the loans made out to The University of King’s College as the official institution.

For payment of tuition and residence fees by cheque, only one cheque is required.

Internet banking is currently set up with TD, CIBC, BMO, RBC, Scotiabank and the Credit Union and done as a direct bill payment setup with one’s personal bank account. Please use the following information, and note the transaction can take up to 2-3 business days to be fully processed:

Add Payee*: The University of Kings College

Account: Student ID Number (B0#######)

Amount: Payment amount

_{*Since each bank is different, it is best to search ‘University’ to locate us in the bank.}

_{NOTE: King’s and Dalhousie do not accept Interac e-mail money transfers.}

Students are encouraged to check their student account balance as all payments are the sole responsibility of the student.

To avoid the $50.00 late fees and interest, all tuition and fees and, if applicable, residence costs, must be paid in full by the term due date.

The annual interest rate charged on all overdue accounts is 12%, interest is assessed weekly and is compounded monthly.

Please note: Money transferred to a student’s account are not to exceed the annual charges associated with tuition and ancillary fees. Funding for off-campus and personal expenses is to be sent directly to the student. Over-payment on a student’s account will be held on the account for up to one academic year for future fees.

International students

International students can use Convera to pay in their home currency. (Students are to select Dalhousie University. Since we share the same student database the payment will get posted to ones student account).

Students who make a payment with a U.S. cheque will have the foreign exchange posted to their student account as per the bank rate on the day of the deposit, and it is the student’s responsibility to check their balance thereafter.

Waivers

King’s offers two Post-Care Tuition Waivers annually to former youth-in-care for undergraduate studies at King’s. This comes in recognition of the unique and ongoing challenges faced by former youth-in-care in accessing and completing a post-secondary education.

King’s also offers Senior Citizen Tuition Waivers.  Student’s who met the requirements must ensure all deadlines are met on or before the tuition and fee term due date.

Fully funded/sponsored (externally)

Students who are fully funded/sponsored externally, are required to have the external organization complete the University of King’s College Third Party Billing Information Form and ensure that it is received by the Student Accounts Office on or before the term tuition and fee payment deadline.  Students are expected to pay their student account in full for all monies not covered and must do so by the term tuition and fee due date to avoid university late fees and interest charges.  A new form is required at the beginning of each academic school year.

Non-attendance does not constitute a withdrawal. Withdrawals are effective when a student withdraws from a course(s) online at www.dal.ca or when written notification is received by the King’s Registrar’s Office. 

Students are encouraged to refer to Dalhousie University’s current refund schedule before dropping an arts, science, music or journalism course. One-Year Bachelor of Journalism and Master of Journalism students also follow the Dalhousie refund schedule for regular courses. One-Year Bachelor of Journalism and Master of Journalism boot camp courses and workshops, as well as the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction and Fiction each have their own separate refund schedule. All Master’s students follow the withdrawal policies outlined in the Dalhousie Graduate Studies calendar.

The student account credit calculation is based on the official date of withdrawal and the current terms refund schedule.

For students who wish to apply for a backdated withdrawal they must contact the King’s Registrar’s Office.

A student who is dismissed from the University of King’s College for any reason will not be entitled to a refund of tuition and/or fees.

Refunds will be prorated on tuition and/or fees paid by a University of King’s College scholarship and/or fee waiver.

Refunds will be made to the third party organization for fully funded students.

Refunds will be made to the National Student Loan Center if a student has received a Canada or Provincial Student Loan.

A student account credit will be refunded upon request from the student only.  Students can send an email (from their university email account only) to the King’s Student Accounts Office.  Requested refunds for a student account credit are processed once every two weeks on a set bi-weekly refund schedule.

Residence Withdrawals

Students in residence are expected to remain in residence for the whole of the academic year. A student who withdraws from residence during the academic year will still be responsible for the balance of the residence fees unless an acceptable replacement is found. Students who receive a tuition credit based on compassionate or medical grounds may be released from their obligation for residence fees for the remainder of term, at the discretion of the Dean of Students. A medical note must be provided within 30 days of withdrawal from residence.

Delinquent Accounts

Students with a prolonged outstanding student account may be placed on collection or further legal action may be taken against the student. Students will be responsible for charges incurred because of such action.

Service Charge

If applicable, late fees and interest charges will also be applied to the student’s account. Furthermore, if the bank returns a cheque that was to cover payment of tuition and fees (and residence costs, if applicable), the student’s registration may be cancelled and, if permitted to re-register, late fees and interest charges may apply.

Parents and others often ask Student Accounts to disclose financial information about a student’s account so that they can make accurate tuition payments.

As per Federal government regulations, our policy is to protect the confidentiality of all information pertaining to our students, including all their detailed financial records and account balances on their student account.

Students who wish to grant permission for financial information to be released to a third party (such as a parent or guardian) must send an e-mail from their official university e-mail account to: accounts@ukings.ca. Students must include their name, Student ID number (B0#######) and the name and email address of the third party, individual(s) or organization(s) they are authorizing.  Please note that Student Accounts will not initiate contact with a third party. The authorization will remain active until the student contacts the King’s Student Accounts Office to have it removed.
