Discontinuation of Credit Card Use for Tuition Payments

March 18th, 2008
Effective July 1, 2008, the University of Alberta will no longer accept credit cards as a method of payment for credit-based tuition fees.

There are numerous other payment options available, including Internet banking, telephone banking, on-line or in-person debit card, cheque, cash, bank draft, money order, or international wire payment.

Interac online and Internet banking can be accessed directly through the Financial Services website at http://www.financial.ualberta.ca

The annual savings of approximately $1.3 million in transaction fees will allow the University to put a significant amount of resources back into the classroom to enhance the student experience.

Many of our peer institutions have never accepted credit cards for tuition payments or have moved out of that business.

We regret any resulting inconvenience. The University is communicating this change well in advance to allow alternative arrangements to be made where necessary.

For more information, please visit http://www.financial.ualberta.ca/student.cfm

That's a lot in transaction fees. With internet banking now-a-days there's really no reason other than the benefits of your CC point system.
