Payments

Residence Deposits

Students must pay residence deposits in order to accept a residence offer from New College. Deposit totals and deadlines are included in the residence offer email.

Residence deposits must be paid through the housing portal, StarRez, typically using a credit card. Payment instructions are included in the residence offer. Residence deposits cannot be paid through ACORN.

ACORN Invoice

Full-year residence and meal plan fees are posted to incoming residents’ ACORN accounts in early August. On ACORN, select “Financial Account” and then “View Invoice” or “Invoice & Net Cost” to see your invoice.

For help with understanding your ACORN invoice, visit “University Registrar’s Office – Understanding Your Fees.”

Payment Deadlines

Residence and meal plan fees are divided into two instalments: a Fall instalment and a Winter instalment.

The instalment amounts can be found in “Schedule “B” – Occupancy Fee Rates” in the Residence Policies document and, once posted, on residents’ ACORN invoice.

Individual residents’ payment deadlines for these instalments will vary depending on whether they register for school by paying or deferring their Minimum Payment to Register at the beginning of the Fall session.

For residents who register by paying their Minimum Payment to Register:

• the Fall instalment is due by September 30th;
• the Winter instalment is due by November 30th.

Residents who register by deferring their Minimum Payment to Register will have different deadlines depending on their reason for deferring. You can find your payment deadlines on the University Registrar’s website, under “Remaining Balance.”

Making Payments

Residence deposits must specifically be paid through the housing portal, StarRez, typically using a credit card. Payment instructions are included in the residence offer email. Residence deposits cannot be paid through ACORN.

General payments towards your Fall and Winter residence and meal plan instalments are made to your ACORN account. For information about the different methods for making a payment to ACORN, visit “University Registrar’s Office – Payment Options.” 

ACORN payments do not need to be directed towards specific fees, and will instead automatically go towards paying your Fall tuition and non-tuition fee total (and, once paid, your Winter tuition and non-tuition fee total).
