Acceptance deposits

About the deposit

When you accept your offer of admission, you will be required to pay a non-refundable acceptance deposit in your Student Service Centre (SSC).

Your acceptance deposit counts as your first course registration deposit, and will be applied to your tuition fees after you register for classes. Read about acceptance deposits in the Academic Calendar.

If you’re a graduate student, your program will let you know if you need to pay an acceptance deposit.

Paying your acceptance deposit

Credit card online payment

To pay with your credit card online, log into your Student Service Centre (SSC) and select “Credit Card” in “Pay Fees” under Finances. Successful payments will be processed immediately.

Interac® Online payment

Interac® Online is available for Canadian accounts with TD Canada Trust or First Nations Bank of Canada.

Log into your Student Service Centre (SSC) and select the “Interac” option in “Pay Fees” under Finances. Successful payments will be processed immediately through the SSC, but it can take several days for the amount to be processed in your bank account.

VISA debit cards cannot be used with Interac® Online. You will also need to confirm with your financial institution that your daily Interac® limit will be enough to cover your payment.

If you're an undergraduate student, please contact your Enrolment Services Advisor directly. To find your advisor’s contact information, log into your Student Service Centre (SSC) and select “UBC Contacts” under Personal Info.
