Admissions roadmap
You’re here in your journey to becoming a Georgian student:
What is a tuition deposit and why is it important?
A tuition deposit is required to confirm your seat in your program
Once you accept our offer, you’ll receive a confirmation/invoice letter stating your full fees and next steps.
An important next step is that you must pay a non-refundable deposit or full fees by the deadline.
Paying your fees by the deadline confirms your seat in the program – which means your spot won’t be given to another student. It also allows you access to Banner, our student information system for registration, timetables, fees, books and more.
All students are required to pay the non-refundable tuition deposit, including domestic students, international students, students receiving funding through the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP), and sponsored students (i.e., Better Jobs Ontario, Workplace Safety Insurance Board, etc.).

Your minimum non-refundable tuition deposit may be paid by credit card.
You can make your tuition deposit payment from your Banner account under the fee payment section. For the balance of your fees, you can pay through your financial institution.

International payment processors
Georgian College has partnered with international education payment processors to make tuition payments easier and faster for international students.
You are offered excellent foreign exchange rates, allowing you to pay in your home currency (in most cases). In addition, the posting of the payment into your Georgian College account will be faster, and you will be notified via email when it is received.
Currently, Georgian has partnered with the following international payment processors.
