Registration

All students must register in their program by paying their Fall tuition and incidental fees and clearing their admissions conditions (by mailing the final, official versions of their transcripts to the Graduate Program Office).

Tuition fees for the 2024-2025 academic year will be posted on the Graduate Program Fees and Financing webpage in July 2025.

Students who will be receiving a major award/fellowship/scholarship that exceeds the amount of their Fall tuition and incidental fees can register without payment. The Register Without Payment (Fee Deferral) form will need to be completed and emailed to the Graduate Program before August 20th. 

It is imperative that registration be completed by the September 13, 2024 deadline. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of your enrolment in courses. 

Tuition and incidental fees for the entire academic year are posted on students’ ACORN invoices in early July. 

The first instalment of tuition and incidental fees is due by September 13, 2024. The exact amount will be listed on your ACORN invoice and will be titled “Minimum Payment to Register”. The second and final instalment of tuition and incidental fees is due by November 30, 2024. 

Please note that August 23, 2024 is the recommended tuition fee payment deadline for international students  starting their program in the Fall session to ensure they are covered by the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) at the beginning of September.

Balances that are not fully paid by the September 13^th deadline are subject to monthly service charges of 1.5% compounded (19.56% per annum). Further information on service charges can be found on Student Accounts’ website.

Further information on registration can be found on the School of Graduate Studies’ website.

Log in to ACORN.

Click on “View Invoice” to see the exact amount of your minimum payment to register.

The tuition amount that appears on your invoice does not reflect the value of any awards/fellowships/scholarships you will receive. If the amount of the award/fellowship/scholarship you are receiving is less than the "Minimum Payment to Register,” please pay the the "Minimum Payment to Register” amount by the deadline. If you will be receiving a major award/fellowship/scholarship that exceeds the amount of your "Minimum Payment to Register”  you can register without payment. The Register Without Payment (Fee Deferral) form will need to be completed and emailed to the Graduate Program before August 20th.

Your U of T account number is displayed on the top right-hand corner of your ACORN invoice.  

Making A Fee Payment Inside Canada

Payment must be made through a Canadian financial institution (e.g. your bank, credit union, etc.) in-person at the bank, online or via telephone banking or by credit card (with a service fee). You can review detailed instructions on U of T’s Student Accounts’ website. 

Making A Fee Payment From Outside of Canada

You can review detailed instructions on permissible forms of payments on U of T’s Student Accounts’ website. 

Students are responsible for allowing sufficient time for payments to reach the University and to be recorded in the student’s ACORN account by the payment due date. Please ensure that you allow for several days for the payment to be processed.

External Funding

If you are in receipt of an external or university-wide award, please review the website of the appropriate external agency or School of Graduate Studies' webpage for information regarding the terms of payment.

If you do not register by the deadline, your enrolment in courses will be cancelled. You will only be able to register in-person through the School of Graduate Studies Student Services office (63 St. George Street) with proof of tuition fee payment. In addition, a late registration fee of $44 will be added to your ACORN account on September 15^th.
