Once you have successfully submitted an application to the St. Lawrence College Ontariocolleges.ca International Application Service portal (OCAS-IAS), there will be a notification email acknowledging receipt of your application sent to the email address you provided. If there is something missing from your application, you will be notified to provide the required document(s) through the portal.  If you submit all required documents and meet the admission requirements, a Letter of Acceptance will be issued through the portal. The average processing time for an application is 2 weeks but may take up to 3 weeks during peak periods.

If you applied directly through OCAS-IAS, you could log into your account to check for updates or messages. If you applied through an agent, you would need to contact them for more information.

You are required to follow the fee structure and payment deadline indicated in your Letter of Acceptance package to remit your tuition fees. Failure to remit the required fees by the deadline will result in a revoked offer.

Tuition deposits were due June 15th and our usual process is to revoke offers for students who have not paid their deposit by the deadline. Due to some of the payment challenges students are facing with respect to COVID-19, we will not automatically revoke unpaid offers.

Please contact the SLC Representative in your country to confirm your intention and expected date of payment.

If you are on the waitlist, it means that you qualified for the program however we received more applicants than we have space for. You can remain on the waitlist and we will send you an offer through OCAS-IAS if space becomes available.

When we receive proof of satisfying all outstanding requirement(s), the academic condition will be removed. If the condition was non-academic, such as Royal Conservatory Music Intermediate Rudiments Level 6, audition, or portfolio, please follow the instructions provided on the St. Lawrence College program website.

If you hold a conditional Letter of Acceptance, please ensure all supporting documents are submitted by the deadline indicated in your Letter of Acceptance.

Yes. You will still need to confirm and pay fees by the published deadlines. In addition, you must meet the condition of your admission by the deadline indicated in your Letter of Acceptance.

Instructions on how to pay and fee schedules are included in your Letter of Acceptance package.

If you are making International payments from accounts outside of Canada, St. Lawrence College uses Flywire. If you encounter difficulties in making your payment through Flywire, please contact the SLC Representative in your country.

If you are making a payment from a Canadian account, there are various fee payment options. For details of options to pay, please visit here. You will need to pay your deposit and the full tuition fees by the due dates outlined in your Letter of Acceptance.

Our focus is on ensuring you, and every student, get an opportunity to fully complete the program and receive the quality education you expected. Thus, in alignment with the entire Ontario college system, we will not be changing our tuition policy for this year and will not be offering tuition refunds or rebates. 

Send an email with your issue to slc.me@sl.on.ca

Please have your SLC ID number or student number for reference.

Students who have accepted their offer by the required date and have met all the payment deadlines, will have access to their timetables through SLC.me, approximately 1-2 weeks before classes begin.

Your booklist will be provided to you on the first day of class. We encourage you to wait until then so you can purchase the current required materials.

It is very important for you to know that if your policy is valid, you are covered for all new and emergent conditions and medically necessary treatment, including COVID-19. You can check the dates of your coverage on your guard.me ID Card. Coverage for COVID-19 does not include costs associated with self-isolation or a mandated quarantine. Private accommodation and day-to-day expenses (food and non-emergency transportation) are not eligible for reimbursement. Only new and emergent conditions and medically necessary treatments are eligible. This includes private-duty care by a qualified nurse if it is medically necessary and prescribed by a certified health professional.  For general information about your policy and COVID-19 call: 1.905.752.6200 or toll-free 1.877.873.8447 For claims inquires, use the Claim Assist line: 1.888.756.8428 or email at: customercare@guard.me

Guard.me insurance will pay for new emergent medical conditions in a doctor’s office, clinic or emergency room.  Many places will take your guard.me card and you will not have to pay up front.  However, for some, you will have to pay fees up front and then submit a claim to guard.me to be reimbursed.  For general information about your policy and COVID-19 call: 1.905.752.6200 or toll-free 1.877.873.8447 For claims inquires, use the Claim Assist line: 1.888.756.8428 or email at: customercare@guard.me

Graduating students should strongly consider purchasing health insurance after their graduation. We have compiled a list of insurance providers; however these do not imply an endorsement by SLC. This list is just provided for your convenience, and SLC cannot be responsible for the information found on their sites. Students are advised to research their options and contact the insurance companies before enrolling themselves to ensure the best fit for your needs.

• Guard.me
• Sun Life
• Great West Life
• Greenshield
• Ontario Blue Cross
• Manulife Financial

You will need to purchase your own private health insurance after your guard.me insurance expires. SLC does not cover your health insurance after this date.  Guard.me has a transitional coverage plan for graduates. Other insurance companies do too. Research various insurance companies to find which one fits best for your needs.
