Pre-Authorized Payment (PPL) Plan

 

The Pre-Authorized Payment (PPL) Plan is a program open to graduate students.

Payments are withdrawn on the 5th day of each month, from October to the following August.

This page provides detailed information on how the PPL Plan works, as well as how to enrol.

• How the PPL plan works

  Enrolment
  Enrolment in the Pre-Authorized Payment Plan is done online through the SOLUS Student Center - paper applications are no longer accepted. Self-Enrolment is open in SOLUS until September 28th.   Once you have enrolled into the plan your payment schedule will display the amount of the payments and their scheduled withdrawal dates.
  Making changes to your PPL
  Banking changes can be made online on SOLUS.   Changes to the PPL (terminations, bank changes, etc) should be made before the 15th of the month. Changesreceived after the 15th of the month will be processed for the following month.   Please note that any changes to your fees (tuition, residence, meal plans, etc.) during the course of the PPL will affect your plan. Your monthly payment may change, requiring a ‘catch up’ payment to bring it into balance.    You should check your PPL schedule on SOLUS regularly, and at the very least, monthly.   You can send any account changes to the Office of the University Registrar - Services and Records, Attention: Fees.
  Important Notes
  Items returned by your bank, for any reason will be subject to a $40.00 administrative fee. The University reserves the right to terminate this arrangement should any deduction be returned in the case of non-sufficient funds (NSF), or a closed account.  Please note that Lines of Credit, credit card cheques, and U.S. accounts are NOT permitted with reference to the PPL Plan.
