Pre-Authorized Payment (PPL) Plan

 

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

Those enrolled in the program can have their outstanding fees debited to their bank account in seven (7) monthly installments.

In April 2013, the payment will be withdrawn on April 5th. Starting May 2013, payments are withdrawn on the 24th day of each month, from May to the following April.

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

Please note that If you have unpaid debt from a previous term, you may NOT participate in a payment plan until the outstanding debt is paid.

  Enrolment
  Enrolment in the Pre-Authorized Payment Plan is done online through the SOLUS Student Center - paper applications are no longer accepted. Self-Enrolment for the Fall / Winter plan is open in SOLUS August 8-31, 2012. Participants in the Fall / Winter PPL will be automatically rolled into the Summer PPL at the end of April unless the student notifies the Office of the University Registrar.   Once you have enrolled into a plan your payment schedule in SOLUS 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.   Ensure your banking information is correct. Missing or incorrect banking information may result in missed payments. If you need to change your banking information once withdrawals have begun, do so between the 25th and 15th of the next month (i.e. May 25th to June 15th).   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. Additional fees will be added and spread equally over your remaining payments.   You should check your PPL schedule on SOLUS regularly, and at the very least, monthly.
  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.
