Paying your tuition and fees.

If you have not already done so, notify the Financial Aid Office (financialaid@bowvalleycollege.ca) that you have applied for a student loan.

All approved funding through student loans will be sent directly to you. It is your responsibility to be aware of the tuition/fees owed to the College and to pay them upon receipt to you from the funder.

Please note: Tuition and fees must be paid even if your student loan application is rejected or declined.

If you have a funded seat in the upcoming term for either the Upgrading and English for Academic Purposes (EAP), programs, it will be paid to Bow Valley College directly.

Please note: there may be some fees you are required to pay out of pocket. These fees must be paid by the fee payment deadline or your courses will be dropped.

This information does not apply to Bow Valley College scholarships. If you’re receiving a scholarship from Bow Valley College, it will be paid to your student account directly.

If you’re receiving a scholarship from a company or group outside of Bow Valley College, they may ask you to have certain paperwork filled out by the College to confirm your enrolment and program. Email the forms you need completed by Bow Valley College to registrar@bowvalleycollege.ca. A records officer will fill in and sign the appropriate sections and return the completed forms back to you within five (5) working days.

It is your responsibility as a student to submit the completed forms back to your funding agency. Your tuition account will not be considered paid until payment is received from your funding agency.
