› Minimum Payment to Register
Please check your ACORN/ROSI account for your invoice. For 2024-2025, the minimum payment to register deadline was 3 May, 2024.
Invoices are not mailed. View the fees owing on your ACORN account at www.rosi.utoronto.ca. For more information about fees, contact Student Accounts, or contact us at 905-569-4737 or mbiotech@utoronto.ca.
At minimum, 50% of your program fees (minus the $1,500 deposit for newly admitted students) must be paid by the deadline date in order to register in the upcoming academic year. Fees paid after this deadline may incur a late payment charge. If payment is not received, registration will not occur or be delayed. This affects course enrolment, access to campus services, etc.
It can take 5-10 business days for your fees to be processed and to appear in your student account, so ensure you account for processing time when arranging your payment.
The Balances of Fees are due on 30-Sep, 2024. You can pay in increments up until this date, as long as the balance is $0 by this date. Otherwise, interest charges will occur. Find schedule of fees and interest charges here.

› OSAP Recipients
As OSAP funding may not be released until after the Minimum Payment to Register deadline has passed, OSAP recipients may register before receiving their OSAP funding and before making any payment.
If you have been assessed by OSAP for funding and OSAP has determined that you will receive at least $1 in funding, you may request to defer your Minimum Payment to Register until your OSAP funding has been received. This means you may register without payment, until you are able to pay.
You can complete the OSAP Tuition Fee Deferral online by logging into your ACORN account and selecting Financial Accounts. In the Financial Accounts area, select Tuition Fee Deferral and follow the directions.
Students who are unable to access the OSAP/Government Student Aid Tuition Deferral tool in ACORN, please contact the MBiotech Office for further information.
