Annual Student Dues

• We accept online payments by credit card (Visa, Mastercard and Amex) and Interac (select credit unions and First Nations Bank of Canada). Students can make their payment on My Portal as of the billing date (January 15, 2024).

• ASD are annual dues covering the period of January 1 – December 31 each year.
• The ASD covers the cost of development, enhancement and delivery of the CPA certification program and its prerequisites.
• New students are charged the ASD according to, and on, the date of their registration. Thereafter they are billed the ASD at the same time as all other students.
• Students must pay the ASD to maintain their status in good standing with CPA Ontario.

• Please note the option for employers to pay the ASD on behalf of students is no longer available. Students are responsible for making their own ASD payment. Students can download their receipt from the student portal and then submit their receipt to their employer for reimbursement.
