All the ways you can pay your UBC fees

Once you’ve accepted your offer of admission and registered for courses, there are many different ways to pay your tuition, student fees, and residence and meal plan fees. The payment options available will depend on the specific type of fee you’re paying, which bank you are using, which campus you’re attending, and where you are in the world.

If you’re a Canadian student or paying from a Canadian account

Here are just a few of the ways you can pay your tuition and fees:

  • Online or telephone banking bill payment from any Canadian financial institution
  • Pre-authorized debit (PAD) from any Canadian financial institution
  • Payment at any Canadian RBC branch (you do not have to be a RBC customer)
  • Online credit card payment (a 2.5% convenience fee applies for certain payments)
  • In person by cheque or Canadian debit at the Student Records and Financial Services office at UNC 214 (UBC Okanagan students only)

If you’re an international student or paying from an international account

You can pay your fees in a number of ways. Here are a few options:

  • Payment at any Canadian RBC branch

If you’re an international student, paying your fees via TransferMate lets you pay in your home currency, secure a competitive exchange rate for up to 72 hours, and avoid additional transaction fees – no Canadian bank account required.
