Supplementary Fees?
Hey everyone,
I was taking a look at my Payment Agreement and comparing the fees they are charging with the fee breakdown posted, and there seems to be a huge discrepancy.

I'm basing my calculations on the 2010/2011 Tuition & Supplementary Fee Breakdown (pdf). I'm taking a full courseload, so for all the supplementary fees, I included the maximum amount that they list.

Adding them all up, supplementary fees I'm responsible for include:
Miscellaneous stuff totaling - $166.42
MSU fees totaling - $400.42
Plus some other miscellaneous stuff totaling - $327
Then I pay the Science faculty specific fee - $35

That totals $928.84, yet my Payment Agreement says I should be paying more than double that in supplementary fees -- what am I missing?

The one point of confusion I think I may have is if we all pay for ALL of the faculty-specific fees, not just the faculty we are enrolled in. But if I make that change, my Payment Agreement still wants me to pay a few hundred more than that total.

Who should I e-mail about it? the registrar's office?

Thanks

928.84 should be right. You definitely do not have to pay all the faculty society fees, you only pay for the faculty that you're registered in. Call Student Accounts and Cashiers, there has been some sort of mistake.

I contacted Student Accounts and Cashiers, and they've already gotten back to me sorting it out.

The additional cost was co-op related, and everything is in order.

Thanks! They were the right office to e-mail.

I appear to have the opposite problem :S I'm also in co-op, and according to the doc I got off of the registrar's website, for taking 15 units (one term) I should be charged $464.42 supplementary fees + $550 co-op fees. My payment agreement seems to think I should only be charged $191.

Quick! Stop the presses! Contact the registrar! A student isn't being destroyed financially to their fullest!

The registrar isn't the correct place. They actually have an entire department dedicated to taking your money!
