Graduate student tuition income offset plan

The graduate student tuition income offset plan (GSTIOP) lets you pay tuition fees in four equal instalments over each four month term. These four instalments are due on the last day of each month of the term and can be paid using one of our accepted payment methods.

This plan is only for graduate students.

How to enrol

To enrol you must complete a GSTIOP authorization form and submit it by the deadlines below. The application form will cover 3 terms if you apply in the fall, 2 terms if you apply in the spring and 1 term if you apply in the summer. If you want to continue for the following September, a new application form must be submitted. The GSTIOP application form expires for all students August 31 of each year.
