No, the installment dates are January 1 (if you signed up before December 23), February 1, March 1, and April 1.

Yes, you will be assessed the 2% monthly interest charge even if enrolled in the payment plan so long as you have an outstanding balance. Interest is assessed after the tuition due date (January 19) and the first of each month thereafter.

You can reduce the amount of interest charge by ensuring your installments are paid on time, as the interest charge is 2% of fees still owing.

If the payment requirements are not met each month, the plan status will be considered "In Default". If your payment plan is In Default, you may be blocked from enrolling in Summer 2026 courses until payment is received in full.

If you drop classes or receive a bursary/scholarship, it will be considered a payment towards your next installment. If you add courses, your payment plan will reflect a higher overall account balance. The resulted new balance will trigger the installment amount to be recalculated. To reduce potential issues, we recommend completing all course add/drops before signing up for the payment plan.

When 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏconfirms enrollment for Canadian and U.S. Direct Loan funding, we automatically deduct any outstanding tuition and fees, not just your next expected payment.  Please plan accordingly.  We encourage students to apply at least six weeks before their first day of studies each term to ensure that they receive their funding before the tuition payment deadline.

Yes, you can make a payment towards the installment early or pay off the entire account balance anytime before the April 1 deadline. Accounts that pay in full early will not incur further monthly interest charges.

Your payment must show on your go51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏaccount by the first of each month. We recommend making payments at least three (3) business days (internet banking) or five (5) business days (International Payments) prior to the deadline to allow enough time for the payment to be processed. Credit and debit card payments are posted nearly immediately on goSFU.

Please allow 1-2 business days for the payment plan to update and reflect any payments/changes made.

To avoid confusion, we recommend signing up/activating your plan after you have finished adding/dropping courses for the term.

1. You will have defaulted on the payment plan because you did not fulfill the installment requirement. The plan status will change to 'Cancelled,' at which time you are required to pay the entire outstanding balance immediately.
2. If you are not able to pay the entire Spring 2026 balance, you must immediately drop your Summer 2026 classes on because a $0 balance for the Spring 2026 term is a mandatory requirement for you to keep your Summer 2026 classes.
3. You are now required to set up a payment plan with the 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏCollections department in order to pay the outstanding Spring 2026 balance without damage to your credit score. 
   

The 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏCollections payment plan comes with the following conditions:

• Prevents your account balance from being sent to a credit agency, preserving your credit score.*
• Allows you to pay off your outstanding term balance via monthly installments over a maximum period of up to six months. The payment plan also allows you to pay in full anytime.
• Please note that this payment plan does not prevent the financial hold from being placed on your account, preventing you from enrolling in future terms or receiving official parchments/transcripts until your account balance is paid in full.
• Payment plan balances will continue to be assessed the 2% monthly interest charge.
  

If you have defaulted on your Flywire payment plan, and require an 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏCollections payment plan, please email student_collection@sfu.ca immediately.

*Any damage to your credit score may result in reduced lending amounts and higher interest rates for future loans.
