Information on WebAdvisor

How can I pay?You may pay by cash, certified cheque, debit card (ensure you have a high enough daily limit to cover your payment), money order (payable to Nipissing University) or online* or in person* at any of the five main banks. We do NOT accept credit card payments!
Paying after hours?Use our after hours drop box next to the Student Financial Services Office (F216) exit door – cheques or money orders only!
Paying your fees with OSAP?Make sure an application is submitted by July 15 and that ALL required documentation has been mailed in (you can check your status online by logging back into the OSAP website). Also ensure that you have processed your MSFAA with a designated postal outlet during the summer. If your file is complete as of the fee deadline date, the first fee installment will be deducted. We assume you wish to pay by installments!
*NOTE ABOUT ONLINE & BANK PAYMENTS:It can take several business days for online and bank payments to be posted to the student’s account. Keep this in mind if you need to meet a deadline!
Keep a copy of the receipt (or print the online payment proof) and provide it to the student, in case it’s needed.
Note that it is still possible to apply for OSAP after July 15; it is just less likely that your funding will be available in time for the first day of classes. To apply, visit osap.gov.on.ca.
