Q :What is the admission deposit, and how do I pay it?
A: All students who receive an offer of admission are required to pay a $500 CAD admission deposit. This advanced payment will hold your seat and will be applied toward your first-year tuition fees. The deadline to pay this deposit is outlined in your offer letter.
The admission deposit payment process is the same for your tuition fees. The University of Calgary accepts payment for tuition and general fees primarily through Canadian banking with a personal bank account. Canadian and international students can pay their fees online from nearly anywhere in the world through CIBC Student Pay and Convera Global Pay for Students. Instructions for these payment methods can be found on the How to Pay Your Fees page.
All payments take processing time to appear on your student account. Students will need to plan for these processing times, depending on the payment method.
Q: Do I need to pay a deposit and when is my deposit due?
A: Students who are offered admission to an Undergraduate program will be required to pay a one-time $500.00 CAD admission deposit by the deadline indicated in their offer of admission to confirm their seat in their admitted program. The deposit is non-refundable and will be applied against tuition and fees. Re-admits are required to pay the admissions deposit.
Q: Why should I pay the deposit early?
A: Earlier registration
By paying the deposit and accepting your offer of admission, your spot at UCalgary is secured, and you will then be given your course registration date earlier and access to your schedule builder. You will also be able to set up an IT account with UCalgary.A: Avoid delays and worries
By paying the deposit sooner, you are more likely to secure your spot. Bank often take 3-5 days to process the deposit, so if you plan on accepting your offer it's best to pay the deposit earlier in case of any delays.Q: How do I pay my deposit?
A: The deposit cannot be paid through your student portal. The preferred method of payment is through online banking with a Canadian bank account. If you do not have a Canadian bank account, you can also pay with Convera Global Pay or CIBC Student Pay.

Q: My application was cancelled because I did not pay the deposit on time. Can I have my offer back?
