Fee deferrals

The tuition payment deadline date for the Summer 2024 Semester is Monday, April 22, 2024. Read information on how to pay your fees on this page.

If you have applied for a student loan and are relying on it to pay your tuition fees, you will not receive the funds by the tuition payment deadline date, therefore, a fee deferral must be entered onto your student record before the payment deadline date to avoid being dropped from classes. In order to be eligible for a fee deferral and avoid being dropped from your courses for non-payment, you must qualify for a fee deferral under one of the following categories: 

For courses added between March 12 to April 21, 2024.

BC Student Loan

  1. If you have applied for a BC Full-time Student Loan, before April 15, an automatic fee deferral should be applied to your student record unless there are errors with your student loan application. (Please note, it takes several days from the time you apply for a student loan to when the information appears on Douglas College's student records system for the fee deferral to be applied)
  2. Check if your fee deferral is in place (April 15 - 21) by logging in to your myAccount > Registration > Registration and Schedule > Prepare for Registration > Select a term.
  3. If you do not see the Fee Deferral in your myAccount by Monday, April 22 at 9:00 AM, please contact your SSA or Enrolment Services and show proof that you have applied for a BC Student loan (ex. a screen shot of your SABC application successfully submitted)
  4. For Part-time BC Student Loan applicants, a fee deferral will be manually entered by an Enrolment Services Staff at the time of processing your Part-Time application if you submit your complete application by 4:00 PM on Monday, April 22. Partially completed applications with missing documents will not be accepted or processed.

Out-of-Province Student Loan 

  1. If you have applied for an out-of-province Student Loan, before the payment deadline date, and notified Enrolment Services, a fee deferral should have been applied to your student record 
  2. Check if your fee deferral is in place (April 15 - 21) by logging in to myAccount > Registration > Registration and Schedule > Prepare for Registration > Select a term.

***Fee Deferrals expire at the end of the first month of the semester, unless otherwise specified in your Account. Please check your myAccount to make sure payment has been received.

Students with expired fee deferrals may incur late fees and receive a financial hold on their account.***
