To determine whether you will have to pay Quebec, non-Quebec (Canadian or Permanent Resident), or International tuition rates, please consult the Student Accounts website.

Financial Aid and Awards

Important: For students enrolled in online programs:

Students who have been admitted to online programs will be subject to deregulated fees if they are studying with a residence address outside the province, as the government does not fund the University for credit activities that are followed outside Quebec. All students will have to self-declare their location of study each term in Minerva.

Consult the student accounts website – Online Programs page for more information.

 

Exemption from international tuition fees may be claimed during the semester by students in certain categories.

Students must fill out the International Student Exemption Form and submit it to the School of Continuing Studies with the required documents. Students who qualify for one of the exemptions are then assessed at the Quebec tuition rate or Canadian tuition rate (as applicable).

NOTE: Health insurance is compulsory for international students. Please refer to International Student Services for further information.

 

Application Fee

A non-refundable application fee of $98.43 ($101.38 as of winter 2024) is required to apply to all SCS programs (paid online by credit card).

Fees for Credit and Non-credit Courses

Current students can check their course fees by logging into Minerva. All fees are subject to annual review. The University reserves the right to make changes without notice to the published scale of fees. Course fees are exempt from federal and provincial taxes (GST and QST).

Fees for Credit Courses
