In order to release your RESP funds, your provider will require verification of enrolment. They may ask for a confirmation of enrolment letter, or they may have a form that needs the registrar’s signature. If your RESP providers asks you to submit a form, please email it to reception.music@utoronto.ca  and ensure that you have first signed and filled out all of the necessary fields regarding your account. Alternatively, you may request a confirmation of enrolment letter from the Registrar’s Office to be sent directly to your RESP provider.
 

If you would like this letter to be sent elsewhere, please note that there may be a fee for this service.
When requesting verification, please note:

• Only requests submitted directly by the student will be accepted
• Include your U of T student number
• Forms and letter requests will not be accepted until after the first round of enrolment has begun
• The Registrar’s Office will begin to send out verification to RESP providers at the end of July

BY OSAP OR OTHER GOVERNMENT FUNDED FINANCIAL AID
 

If you are expecting to receive OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) or another provincial/territorial government loan and are unable to pay the first instalment of fees with your own funds, a deferral is the opportunity to officially postpone the fee payment until your funds arrive.
By deferring your fees, you are agreeing to the following conditions: All outstanding tuition fees have been paid. Your deferral is not valid if you owe tuition fees from aprevious session.If you do not receive the financial assistance you were expecting, you are still responsible for payingyour fees.
Defer Fees through ACORN: To defer fees on ACORN visit the Finance menu, select “Tuition Fee Deferral” and follow the directions. After completing the online deferral, you should check your status to ensure your status is changed to ‘Registered’.
Defer Fees through the Registrar’s Office: Provide the Registrar’s Office with confirmation that you have been approved for OSAP or other government loan funding. If you have applied but have not yet received confirmation, you must go to University Admissions & Outreach (172 St. George Street) to request a deferral before the registration deadline.

BY SCHOLARSHIP OR BILLING TO A THIRD PARTY

If you are receiving a scholarship from the Faculty of Music/University of Toronto, or an external establishment that is required to go towards your fees, your fee payment may be deferred. The award will be credited towards your student account once you have registered for the session. In order to register, you must notify the Registrar’s Office by August 27 of your intent to defer your fees payment with the scholarship(s). If the value of the scholarship(s) does not cover the minimum tuition fees payment, you will be required to pay the difference prior to requesting a fee deferral using the scholarship. Even if your scholarship covers or exceeds the minimum tuition fees payment, you must notify us by the deadline of your intent to defer your fees payment.

If payment of your fees is made by Staff/Dependent Waiver, you must pay your non-academic incidental fees at a bank, then submit proof of payment and a copy of the Staff or Dependent Tuition Waiver Request form approved by the Human Resources Department to the Student Accounts Office, 215 Huron St., Toronto, ON, M5S 1A2.
