Master of Education Program
General Information
*Please note that this Calendar is published several months in advance of the academic year. The University reserves the right to change fees and refund policies without notice.
Payment of academic fees does not imply a student’s acceptance to the University or approval of their registration. Academic requirements have to be satisfied before registration is completed. Once a student has registered, he or she is then responsible for assessed fees.
Senior Citizens
Nipissing University welcomes senior citizens (60 years of age or over as at the date of registration) as students. Regular tuition and incidental fees are applicable for senior citizens, however a tuition fee waiver may be available upon request. Please direct inquiries regarding this waiver to the Financial Office.
Receipt for Income Tax
Tuition and Education Credit Certificates (T2202A’s) will be mailed by the end of February to the permanent address of all students. There will be a charge of $10.00 for preparation of duplicate receipts.
Statements of Account
If students have outstanding balances, a statement will be mailed to their permanent address. Please note that statements of account are not automatically mailed after each transaction. If you add courses after confirmation of registration, you are financially responsible for those courses. If for some reason students do not receive their statement of account, they are still responsible for paying any outstanding balance by the due dates. Account information can be viewed on Web Advisor. Inquiries concerning account balance should be directed to the Finance Office.
Sponsorships
Students who will be sponsored must submit a sponsorship letter to the Finance Office in order for the appropriate sponsor to be invoiced. A sponsorship letter must be submitted for each session that the student attends. Sponsorship letters may be submitted by fax (705-474-5086) to the Finance Office. In order for fees other than tuition (E.g. Residence, Books, etc.) to be charged to the sponsor, the sponsorship letter must specifically mention the fees they intend to pay. The student remains the individual responsible for fees if the sponsor fails to submit payment and/or upon cancellation of the sponsorship.
Payment of Fees
Registrations will not be processed unless they are received with full payment.
Tuition and fees owing may be paid by cash, debit card, cheque, bank draft or money order payable to Nipissing University. Payments can also be made through online banking at any of the five main banks. If payment is sent by mail please ensure that your Nipissing University student number is recorded on the front of the cheque. Payments sent by mail and postmarked by midnight of the deadline date will be accepted without penalty. Regardless of the date on the cheque, unless it is received in the Finance Office by the dates specified below, the student will be subject to a late payment service charge of $50.00.
Returned Cheques
Any student who issues a cheque for payment to Nipissing University and whose cheque is returned to the University for any reason will be subject to a service charge of $40 for cheques equal to or greater than $250.00, and $20.00 for cheques less than $250.00.
