  • Fall 2020 You Have Two Different Ways of Viewing Your Mcgill Account Charges on the Student Student Accounts Section of Minerva
    Where is My Money Going? Fall 2020 You have two different ways of viewing your McGill account charges on the Student Student Accounts section of Minerva. Firstly, your monthly e-bill is like a credit card statement, in that it E-Bill summarizes the charges and payments for the current bill and establishes the payment due date. It is a snapshot of your account activity on the date it is issued. If you do not pay by the due date you will be charged interest at a rate of 1.24% per month (14.88% per annum), which will be reflected on your next statement. The Account Summary by Term provides the most up to date view of all charges and payments. Should you change course registrations after the e-bill has been issued, then these changes will be reflected either on the next e-billing cycle or via the Account Summary by Term on Minerva. A list of important fee-related dates is available on the Student Accounts website. Information about your e-bill and methods of paying your account is available on the e-Billing and Your Account page. What Am I Paying For? Here is an explanation of many of the fees you, as a McGill student, are paying for. Categories of Fees: 1. Tuition Fees 2. Administrative Charges 3. University Fees 4. Student-Initiated Fees 5. Students’ Society Fees 6. Independent Student Group Fees 7. University & Student Insurance Plan Fees Your tuition fees at McGill will vary according to whether or not you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, a Québec resident, or an international student.
