Tuition & Fees

University Canada West (UCW) is committed to taking all necessary and reasonable actions for the collection of overdue accounts, ensuring the settlement of outstanding balances. This notice serves as a guide for the collection of outstanding and overdue accounts, with the primary goal of minimizing instances of account delinquency.

Student Commitment

Upon enrolling in classes, students initiate a contractual agreement with the University. By doing so, they acknowledge and agree to adhere to the rules, policies and procedures of University Canada West. These terms, as well as any subsequent amendments, are accessible through the MyUCW Student Portal, the UCW website and the Academic Calendar.

Under the Student Rights & Responsibility Policy 9014, it is each student’s responsibility to remain aware of, and comply with, all UCW policies and procedures, including payment deadlines and rules pertaining to their time at UCW. Ignorance of these rules or policies does not exempt students from adhering to them. This declaration binds students to these conditions throughout their attendance at UCW.

Financial Responsibility

It is the responsibility of each student to stay informed about payment deadlines and to ensure prompt payment of tuition and fees.

Collection Process

UCW Finance follows a structured process for collecting outstanding balances:

Students with outstanding tuition and fees will receive notifications from our Student Financial Services department. These notifications will be delivered via email and, in some cases, through phone calls. These communications are designed to serve as reminders and to provide guidance on resolving the pending payment.

If the matter remains unresolved, UCW Finance will provide a final notice of the outstanding tuition and fees to the student via email or phone. UCW Finance will continue to work with students to resolve all outstanding balances.

In the unfortunate event that an outstanding balance remains unresolved, UCW reserves the right to engage external collection agencies. This step is taken with careful consideration and aims to prompt timely resolution. It is important to note that this action may have potential implications for credit ratings and financial standing.

Taking Preventive Action

We recognize that unexpected situations can lead to financial difficulties. If you encounter challenges in paying your tuition fee, we urge you to contact our Student Financial Services department [email protected]. Our team is available to explore options such as payment plans or financial aid to prevent escalation.

Securing Your Future

We genuinely care about your educational journey and prospects. Timely resolution of outstanding tuition fees can safeguard your credit history and financial well-being. This has a positive impact on your ability to secure loans, obtain favourable interest rates, and pursue future employment opportunities.

We encourage all students to proactively address any outstanding tuition fees and to collaborate with us in finding fair and feasible solutions. Open communication is pivotal in overcoming financial challenges.
