Making a Payment
Your Student Account & How to Pay
Your account statement is available 24/7 online through your MyTrent portal. We do not send bills or invoices by mail or by email.
Your student account is maintained by the University's secure student system. It is where we charge all your fees and your payments are received. It is every students responsibility to regularly log in and review their own statement of account and that all balances have been paid in full by the deadline dates.
Financing with Private lenders
***While Students may opt to seek financing for their education through private lenders, please be aware that Trent University will not issue refunds greater than the student's Trent-related expenses(tuition, ancillary fees, meal plans, and ON-campus housing).
Student's who are borrowing funds to pay for OFF-campus housing and other living expenses should arrange for funds to be deposited directly into their personal bank account.
