How to request a payment deferral

To request a payment deferral:

Please include:

  • 'Account Payment Deferral' in the subject line
  • your full name
  • your home province

Option 2: Student Payment Plans

Our Student Payment Plans assist students who are having difficulties paying their tuition and other fees by the scheduled date. Students must apply for the student payment plan on a term-by-term basis.

How student payment plans work and how to apply

Eligibility

To be reviewed/considered for a payment plan, you must:

  • Be a current student with no prior balance owing from a previous term. If you have an outstanding balance on your student account, please contact accountsreceivable@mta.ca;
  • Demonstrate an ability to make future payments;
  • Agree to the terms and conditions of the Payment Plan Agreement;
  • Agree to a schedule of installment payments.

Cost

$50/term will be added to the first installment.

How to apply

  • Please apply via email to accountsreceivable@mta.ca.
  • Your application will be reviewed within five business days and you will be contacted through your MtA email with the decision. You may be contacted if additional information is required.
  • If your application is approved, you must sign a "Student Payment Plan Agreement" which outlines the details of your payment schedule and obligations.

Payment methods

For information on fee payment methods, visit make a payment.

Please note: some payment methods can take longer than others to be processed into your student account. Pre-plan your payments so that they arrive on time.

Plan default

A Student Payment Plan will be considered defaulted if one or more payments are not received by any of the designated due dates as per your Student Payment Plan Agreement. If a payment is missed, the plan and the student account will be subject to regularly scheduled monthly interest and late fees as per the Academic Calendar. Students who default will not be eligible to use future payment plans.

Please note:

  • Other fees and fines may be added to your student account at any time during the term, i.e. library fines, replaced ID cards, etc. Regularly review your Account Statement in Connect to ensure all charges are as expected, all payments made to the school have been received and all balances are paid in full before the start of the next term.
  • If your account is not paid in full by the end of your payment plan agreement term, a $75 late-payment fee will be applied to your account. Additionally, you will not be permitted to register for the following term or receive school documents (diplomas, transcripts, letters of permission, official confirmations, etc.) until the outstanding amount is paid in full.

If you have any questions with respect to completing the application form or the Student Payment Plan Agreement, please contact accountsreceivable@mta.ca.

Financial support is also available through financial aid for current students and student jobs.
