Tuition Benefit Procedure

Terms and Definitions

Step 1: Review the Tuition Benefit Policy

Review and familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions of the Tuition Benefit Policy.

Step 2: Select your course(s)

Using the Academic Calendar review the contents of the calendar, including all requirements and fees. Make your course selection(s).

Step 3: Discuss the benefit coverage (optional)

If you are unclear about what costs the University's Tuition Benefit program covers and what financial responsibility you have when enrolling in a course(s), schedule a meeting with a representative of Student Financial Services sfs@tyndale.ca to discuss prior to proceeding further.

Step 4: Apply for OSAP

You must apply to OSAP before you complete the Tuition Benefit Application form. The University will only cover the difference between government grants (excluding disability grants) and the tuition fees, subject to the terms and conditions of the Tuition Benefit Policy.

Note that you are not obligated to accept the Student loan portion of any OSAP funding for which you may be approved.

Please refer to OSAP Tip-sheet for more information.

• If you are taking 1-2 courses per term/semester, the Part-Time Application should be completed.
• If you are taking 3 or more courses per term/semester (or 2 or more courses per term/semester if you have a permanent disability), the Full-Time Application should be completed

You must notify Student Financial Services sfs@tyndale.ca upon submission of your OSAP application.

Step 5: Complete the Tuition Benefit Application form

Complete the prescribed form.

In order to complete the form, you will need the following information:

• the list of courses in which you are enrolled
• the degree program in which you are enrolling (if applicable)
• proof of your application for OSAP (screenshot, email confirmation etc.)
• the email addresses of the Employee that you are related to
• the email address of that Employee's supervisor and, if exceptions to the policy are being sought,
• the email address of the SVP responsible for the area in which the related Employee works

Step 6: Enroll in your selected course(s)

After you have received your approved Tuition Benefit Application form you may register for your course(s).  

You are advised to submit your Tuition Benefit Application form well in advance of enrolling in any course(s). 

If you enroll in your course(s) prior to your Tuition Benefit Application form being approved, be aware that you will be subject to minimum payment amounts and deadlines as per the academic calendar.  If your Tuition Benefit Application is not approved prior to the minimum payment amount deadline, your account will be subject to late payment fees and interest charges. 

Also be aware that not all costs are covered under the Tuition Benefit Program and you are financially responsible to pay for all costs associated with your program or course(s), that are not covered by the subsidy you may receive.  

Step 7: Keep your account current

Full charges will be levied on your account for the total program / course cost. You will then receive a subsidy credit on your account which will be applied after all scholarships, awards, and OSAP financial aid have been applied.

You have regular access to your student account statement through mytyndale.ca. Be sure that you read and understand your statement and keep your account current.
