ROSI course enrolment

As one of a number of things we have done to help improve ROSI service and ensure ROSI can keep up with the pace of your requests this year, we are spacing out the rate at which students come onto ROSI for course enrolment. If your start time is a bit later in the day than in previous years, this is the likely reason. We have not changed the way we prioritized students for their enrolment windows.

Choosing courses for 2010-2011

Don't forget that the Calendar lists courses that may not be offered every year. The Timetable lists those that are actually being offered in 2010-2011. The Timetable and Calendar have been updated since they were printed in March, so check the online versions for the most current information. If you need help with your course selections, you should check with your college registrar's office.

Fee payment deadline for 2010-2011

Don't forget: the deadline to pay your tuition (or officially defer your fees - see below) for the 2010-2011 year is August 24. If you applied for OSAP and need to defer your fees, you can do so online. NOTE: You cannot use the online deferral tool if you have outstanding fees from past sessions, including the 2010 Summer session, on your account. Clear them first, or contact your College Registrar's office if you encounter any problems paying or deferring your fees before the August 24 deadline. If at least your initial payment or deferral has not been made by August 24, you'll lose your course enrolments for next year.

Fee invoices

Fee invoices will be available on ROSI starting July 21. Note that invoices will not be "viewable" until 7:00pm on July 19, 20, and 26.

Tuition deferral

If you applied for OSAP or other provincial financial aid and need to defer your fees, you can do so online. The fee deferral option will be available under "Financial Accounts" on the ROSI main menu beginning July 21.
