Gardner College Student Fee Payment

     Attending college is an exciting, life-enriching opportunity. Good financial planning and budgeting is essential to the student achieving their goals. Gardner College recognizes some payment options available to assist you.

Discount with Full Payment at or before Registration:

     This allows any student who has completed their application process, or returning students who have pre-registered, the opportunity to pay in advance and receive a discount. A 2% discount will be given to any student who pays their semester account in full on or before the registration day for that semester. This payment must be made by cheque or cash.

Government Student Loans:

     With proof of completed and government-approved application for financial aid, the student will be allowed to register and enroll in their classes, provided that all government cheques be sent directly to Gardner College, payable toward the student's account. The student must begin the online application process before the end of June (for both semesters), so that all necessary papers are ready to be confirmed and signed by the College on Registration day. In this scenario, the student's account must be paid in full by October 15 for the first semester, and by February 15 for the second semester.

Accounts Charged On Your Visa/MasterCard account:

     Gardner College's Business Manager has approval to accept the payment of a student's account on a valid VISA or MasterCard. No discount will apply. The College must receive the payment before September 15 for first semester, and before January 15 for second semester.

PLEASE NOTE:

1. We want to make your financial process as simple as possible. If you need help, please talk to the Business Manager.

2. IF THE STUDENT HAS AN OUTSTANDING ACCOUNT BALANCE OWING, they will not be allowed to write their final exams in either semester, nor will they be allowed to register in a subsequent semester.
