Student Financial Services at the University of Guelph is here to help guide you through the Financial Profile section of WebAdvisor.
After logging into WebAdvisor, you will see the main Student page of WebAdvisor with links on the right. We will be walking through all of the links in the Financial Profile section. We will start off with Account View, where you will find your bill each semester with all of your fees, which can include tuition, compulsory fees, residence, and meal plan.
You will first see an account summary, showing an overall balance and amount due, along with the payment deadline. Farther down is the balance for each semester. You can click on Account Activity to view the charges and payments for the current semester, or you can click on any semester you want using the links on the left.
You will also see a notifications feature. If you click on the number beside the Help button, you will see important announcements relevant to your account. For example, if you have applied for OSAP, you will receive a notification when the University has confirmed your enrollment with the Ministry.
Don’t forget to also check out the helpful links to the right of your “Account Summary”. With one click, you can see the payment deadline dates.
When you click on a semester, you will be brought to the Account Activity page for that semester. You will find a detailed breakdown of your charges, payments, and financial aid here. If you click on Charges, you will see tuition, compulsory fees, and residence and meal plan sections. You can expand each of these for even more detail. Under Tuition, you will see both the tuition charge plus your course timetable. You can click on Compulsory fees for a list of all fees. In the Residence and Meal Plan section, you can see your specific meal plan and residence charges for the semester.
The Payments section will include any payments that you or the government (for example, OSAP) have made – your $500 registration deposit will show up here.
Under Financial Aid, you will see any internal scholarships, plus, if you are fully registered, an estimate of the OSAP funding that is going to be coming directly to the University. Please note that this OSAP estimate only shows the amount requested to come to the University, not what may go to your bank account. Check the OSAP portal for more detailed information. Once your government funding arrives, it will show up in the Payments section.
Our next link in the Financial Profile section of the main WebAdvisor page is Graduate Settlement. If you are a graduate student, for example a Masters or PhD student, and you wish to pay your tuition with an award or through payroll deduction or department trust, you must complete a graduate settlement every semester. Just click on the appropriate semester and fill out the form.
For details on how to pay your tuition and other fees, click on the Payment Information link in the Financial Profile section of the main WebAdvisor page. Internet banking is the recommended payment method. Please note that it takes 3 to 5 business days for your payment to be applied to your account. Remember to pay online, not in line.
Your T2202A will be available around February of each year for your income tax return. Click on the T2202A link in the Financial Profile section of the main WebAdvisor page, and then click on the appropriate year for the PDF, which can be printed or downloaded.
The University may require your SIN for tax purposes. If we do not already have it on file, please click on the SIN Entry/Status link in the Financial Profile section of the main WebAdvisor page and fill it in.
When you click on the Pending Deposit Status link in the Financial Profile section of the main WebAdvisor page, you will see external scholarships and your residence deposit.
Lastly, if you would like someone to have access to your University-related financial information, please fill out the form under the Release of Financial Information link in the Financial Profile section of the main WebAdvisor page.
We hope that you are now familiar with your Financial Profile at the University of Guelph! If you have any questions, please contact Student Financial Services.
