COVID-19 Updates
Fees:
The University of Windsor puts a great deal of time and thought into the decisions that affect tuitions and other fees. This process takes several months and any proposed changes to fees are vetted through a number of committees on campus. To allow for student feedback, many of these committees also include student representation. The final step in the process is to have all tuitions and fees approved by the University's Board of Governors. This approval occurs in April with the new rates effective on May 1.
Due to the unique COVID-19 situation, the University undertook a complete review of all compulsory ancillary fees that are charged to students in the Intersession Summer term. This careful review was focused on both what the fee provides and what benefits the student derives from the fee. This review was completed by a committee of individuals from a broad range of areas within the institution. For the most up-to-date information and all financial considerations for student fees in our current environment, please visit www.uwindsor.ca/coronavirus/409/covid-19-financial-considerations.
The fees that appear on your account are the rates recently approved by the Board of Governors. Any fee reduction will appear as a rebate (or payment) on your account in the near future. We are in a unique and challenging time and we ask for your patience as these rebates are processed.
To protect the health and safety of our community and in accordance with the guidelines established by the federal and provincial governments and the Public Health Agencies, courses offered in Intersession Summer 2020 are online. Instructors and staff are working diligently to implement solutions that ensure that course learning outcomes are met, students long-term success is safeguarded and that student learning continues to be supported. Tuition fees support the cost of academic program delivery, which is not specific to mode of deliver (in-person or other). Your tuition and fees are vital to maintaining the academic continuity and operations of the University, and to providing the supports you and your peers require both now and when we return to normal operations.
A Student Relief Support Fund has been established to support students who are facing urgent financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. More information about applying for assistance through this fund can be found at: www.uwindsor.ca/studentawards/418/emergency-bursary-funding.

Tuition Information
You can view tuition information online using the UWinsite Student. Scholarships, bursaries, residence and meal plan charges appear on your account in early August for Fall semester and early December for Winter semester.
If you are paying by cheque/bank draft/money order, ensure your Student ID is clearly marked to ensure credit to the proper account. Allow time for mailing to ensure your payment arrives before the deadline.
If you paid by cash, cheque, money order, traveler's cheque, debit, web, telephone or at a bank, you may print your receipt through your UWinsite account. Steps for this can be found here.
If you do not have a UWin Account, email TUITDEP@uwindsor.ca to request a receipt for your tuition deposit.
If you made your payment by personal cheque, your canceled cheque is your receipt. If you require something more official, you must wait 30 days (45 days for cheques drawn on a foreign bank) before emailing TUITDEP@uwindsor.ca. If you require a receipt earlier, provide a copy of the front and back of the canceled cheque.
Auditing Courses
A student who audits a course(s) is one who attends a course(s), but, does not receive credit for the course(s) towards their degree. Such a student will not be eligible to write examinations and may not be graded but, will be required to pay the stated fee(s) for the course(s). Contact us if you have questions about fees, payments, or financial policies.
Mission & Vision
The Student Accounts office is a unit within the Budgets and Financial Services department responsible for responding to student inquiries on the payment of fees in a timely and efficient manner. We ensure all students are informed on their account related services while adhering to confidentiality policies and regulations.
Confidentiality
To preserve the confidentiality of financial records, staff are required to maintain a strict confidentiality policy regarding student's accounts. Staff cannot allow anybody but the student to access information from their accounts without the authorization of the student. This includes receipts, statements or discussion of financial records. Failure to obey this policy may result in disciplinary action against the staff member. University Bylaws prohibit the release of a Student ID to anyone but the student. If you do not know the ID of a student, contact them directly to obtain it. We recognize parents often pay students accounts, thus, the Cashiers Office created a process to allow students to authorize us to speak to any individuals they wish to discuss their financial accounts with. The authorization form is available on UWinsite Student under the Self Service - Delegated Access. Authorization is limited to the financial record, granted annually, and can be canceled anytime.
