Budgeting is important. A Victoria College financial advisor can assist you in the planning and managing of your finances. Review your expenses for the academic year and find sources of financial aid. To book an appointment, contact the Victoria College Office of the Registrar and Academic Advising at (416) 585-4508.
In addition to admission and in-course scholarships, Victoria College has a generous bursary program. Additional support is provided to many students participating in international experiences, research, on campus initiatives and conferences.
As a continuing or graduating student you may also be recognized with an award for your contributions to campus life.

Fees
Every student at the University of Toronto has a student account through ACORN where you will find:
- tuition & ancillary fees
- residence fees, if applicable
- related charges
- payments and other credits
- invoices
- tax forms
Information and help screens are available online.
After you enrol in courses, your fees are calculated based on a variety of factors including course load and program. To complete your registration in a given session, you have to pay at least the minimum first installment of your fees (or officially defer them) by the payment deadlines.
Students may be eligible to defer fees based OSAP/government aid in ACORN. Scholarship recipients may be eligible to defer fees based on a Victoria College/University of Toronto Scholarship.
Financial accounts are managed by Student Accounts. Student Accounts manages tuition and ancillary fees, posts fee and refund schedules, processes payments and waivers, issues refunds and applies service charges.
Starting the 2019 tax year, your Social Insurance Numbers (SIN) will need to be included on Tax Form T2202. Add your SIN on ACORN under "Profile and Settings". Tax Forms for 2019 will be available in ACORN as of February 21, 2020.

Financial and Government Aid
University of Toronto Enrolment Services is the primary contact for information on federal, provincial and territorial financial aid.
For many full-time, undergraduate students, government aid, usually OSAP, is a main source of funding. Signature pages and supporting documents can be uploaded using OSAP's online system or returned to Enrolment Services. First time applicants complete the Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement (MSFAA) online. After a student completes an OSAP application, they will receive instructions from the National Student Loan Service Centre regarding online identify verification, direct deposit and loan terms.

Students who receive government aid may be eligible for a University of Toronto Advance Planning for Students (UTAPS) grant.
