Tuition deposit
As of May 28, 2025, anyone who wishes to accept an offer of admission from Université Laval for the Winter 2026 semester and beyond must pay a deposit on their tuition fees. This amount will be deducted from the tuition for the relevant semester.
Deposit terms
Programs: All undergraduate and graduate programs.
Single payment: The deposit is required only once per admission semester, even if you accept more than one offer of admission.
When to pay: The deposit must be paid when the offer of admission is accepted.
Payment method: The deposit can be paid online, by credit card, in monPortail.
Amount
- Students from Québec and Canada: CAN$300
- International students: CAN$1,000
Deposit payment deadline
The deadline for accepting an offer of admission and paying the deposit can be found in your admission record in monPortail.
Refunds
The tuition deposit is non-refundable.
If your immigration documents (Québec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) or study permit) are rejected, you may be entitled to a full refund of the deposit, provided you can demonstrate that you met the following deadlines:
- You submitted a complete CAQ application within 15 days after the official offer of admission was issued
- You submitted a complete study permit application within 15 days after you received the CAQ
If these conditions are met and you have not received a response to your immigration application by the beginning of the relevant semester, you may be eligible to defer your offer of admission to a later semester.
