In January 2019, the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) announced reforms to post-secondary education which required institutions to classify ancillary fees as essential (mandatory) or non-essential (optional), as per Ministry guidelines. The policy requires that students be given the option to opt-out of paying fees that are deemed non-essential by the Ministry.
There are a number of valuable programs and services that are classified as optional under the Student Choice Initiative, many of which are solely funded by student ancillary fees. Opting-out of these fees means that your experience here at Western may be impacted. Through this site, you have the ability to opt back in by paying some or all of these fees.
We believe these programs and services play a vital role in providing the best student experience for all undergraduate students at Western. While you may not directly benefit from the programs and services that these fees provide, we encourage you to rethink the impact that your decision to opt-out will have on your peers at Western and the overall student experience on our campus.
You can find out more about the fees at https://www.saveyourstudentexperience.ca/
It is your responsibility to confirm the fees you have opted out of prior to opting back in to ensure you do not double pay. Please view your fee bill at https://student.uwo.ca prior to completing this form.

In Cap and Gown Fund
Over 100 years ago, the Gazette went by a different name: In Cap and Gown.
More than 100 years ago, the Gazette went by a different name: In Cap and Gown.
But by any name, the Gazette remains a training ground for journalists, offering students a platform to tell compelling stories.
Since there is no longer a journalism undergraduate program at Western University, the Gazette has become the home for future journalists on campus. Everyone who walks through our doors leaves having learned more about writing, interviewing, photography, videography, graphic design, and, most importantly, being a storyteller.
Your support through the In Cap and Gown Fund will help keep this dream alive and sustain our mission to train future journalists. Your donation will ensure that essential parts of our training program continue, including providing bursaries to students who demonstrate financial need, training resources and professional development opportunities.
NOTE: We thank you for your donation, but are unable to provide charitable receipts.
Since 1906 and beyond. |
