Fees and payment

Payment options

We accept the following credit cards:

  • Visa
  • MasterCard
  • American Express

If you indicate on your application that you would like to pay by credit, Continuing Studies will send you an email message with a link to an online payment form. Once your payment has been processed you will receive a receipt to confirm payment.

Important: credit cards often have limits on international transactions, so your payment could be delayed or unsuccessful because of this limit. Please check with your bank first.

Through Convera GlobalPay for Students, you can pay tuition in your own currency without international wire fees.

Income tax receipts

After you register for a course, you’ll receive a confirmation receipt. Keep this receipt, as it is your official income tax receipt.

If your UVic tuition fees exceed $100 in one calendar year, they may qualify as a tax credit. To determine whether your tuition fees qualify, consult the Canada Revenue Agency guidelines. More information can be found on our Student and Income Taxes page.

You can download a copy of your T2202A forms for previous years through My Account.
