Starting Summer 2020, students will be asked to apply for fee deferrals through a new online application form and will no longer be offering payroll deductions.
2020 Tuition deferral UBCV & UBCO
2020 on line Deferral Application Deadline Dates
Removal of the payroll deduction option
In the last few years we have noticed a decrease in the number payroll deduction applications received from students (80) in comparison, fee deferral has grown (270) for 2019 Winter session.
Unlike fee deferral, Payroll deduction requires coordination with UBC Payroll, meeting semimonthly payroll deadlines, running SISC jobs to send/receive files, ensuring that students have a Social Insurance Number on their student record, communicating with students if scheduled deductions fail due to SIN changes or no active EPAF and early application deadlines which many students cannot meet.
It is for these reasons that a decision was made to eliminate this payment method and offer fee deferral to both domestic and international graduate students employed as Teaching or Research assistants effective Summer 2020.
NEW Fee deferral process
The new online application for students will be available March 1st for 2020 Summer. Students must submit a copy of their EPAF along with their application.
