UPDATE (MAY 12, 2021): The convenience fee has been implemented.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Due to the increasing cost of processing credit card payments, a new convenience fee is being implemented at Royal Roads University. This will be applied when credit cards are used to pay for tuition deposits and program and course fees. This brings RRU in line with other colleges and universities, as an increasing number of schools are applying such convenience fees.<\/p>\n

In order to keep an RRU education as affordable as possible, rather than passing processing fees charged by credit card companies onto students through tuition or fee increases, a convenience charge of 1.75%<\/strong> will be applied to credit card payments of tuition deposit, program, and course fees.\u00a0 This will take effect on April 16, 2021.<\/p>\n

There are alternative payment options without the convenience fee, as it isn\u2019t assessed on payments made by online banking, cheque or money order, debit card payments made in person, and PayMyTuition.<\/p>\n

RRU does not profit from the new convenience fee, as it is charged to offset the cost to the university to provide credit card processing.<\/p>\n
