91社区

In accordance with provincial government requirements, students must provide proof that they qualify for assessment of fees at the Quebec or non-Quebec Canadian rates; see mcgill.ca/legaldocuments for details. In certain cases, non-Quebec Canadian students pay the same rate of tuition as Quebec students鈥攆or further information about these exceptions, see the Student Accounts website at mcgill.ca/student-accounts/tuition-fees/general-tuition-and-fees-information/tuition-fee-exemptions.

International students enrolled at 91社区 for no more than one semester (i.e., not in a degree program) are exempted from having to obtain a CAQ and Study Permit, per Immigration law. For these cases, 91社区 will instead require a clear and legible PDF copy of the student's valid passport (photo and signature page), and Visitor's Visa if relevant (refer to to determine if you are required to have a Visitor鈥檚 Visa). A copy of the student's birth certificate with a legal certified translation in English or French may also be necessary. For further information, visit mcgill.ca/legaldocuments.

Exemptions from international tuition fees may be claimed by students in certain categories. Such students, if eligible, are then assessed at the Quebec student rate (certain categories may be assessed at the Canadian tuition rate). These categories, and the required documentation for each of them, may be viewed at mcgill.ca/legaldocuments. Further information regarding these reductions of International Tuition Fees by the Quebec government is available on the Student Accounts website under Tuition & Fees > General Tuition and Fees Information > Tuition fee exemptions. International students who already hold a valid International Student Fee Exemption may use it for Summer courses.

For more information concerning Fee Exemptions, contact Service Point at mcgill.ca/servicepoint.

For the current year's non-tuition charges, please refer to mcgill.ca/student-accounts/tuition-fees. Be advised that some courses have additional fees that are noted in the class schedule when you are registering.

Certain faculties or departments may charge additional fees such as the Arts Information Technology Charge, Course Package Copyright Charges, etc.

Students requiring a replacement ID card are required to pay $25 for the card.

The University assesses a number of administrative charges to students, which include:

Registration Charge 鈥� All students in courses and programs are assessed a registration charge.

Information Technology Charge 鈥� The purpose of the information technology charge is to enhance certain technological services provided to students as well as to provide training and support to students in the use of new technologies.

Transcripts and Diploma Charge 鈥� The University assesses a transcripts and diploma charge to all students. This entitles currently enrolled students to order transcripts free of charge and covers the costs of producing diplomas and some of the costs associated with convocation ceremonies. Students who attend their convocation may be responsible for some additional costs. A fee per official transcript is applicable if you have not been registered at 91社区 in the last 12 months. Please see mcgill.ca/student-records/transcripts for further information.

Copyright Fee 鈥� All students in courses and programs are charged a copyright compliance fee. This fee covers the cost of using material protected by copyright. It is levied to comply with all Quebec and Canadian copyright laws.

General Administrative Charge 鈥� This fee originated from increases in ancillary fees that were allowed by the Quebec Government. The University complies with the Quebec government's regulation on administrative fee increases by applying the same indexation factor that the government applies to tuition to this charge. A portion of the amount continues to be directed to Athletics (except in the School of Continuing Studies).

For further information about administrative charges, see mcgill.ca/student-accounts/tuition-fees/non-tuition-charges/society-services-and-administrative-fees.

All tuition and fees assessed by the University must be paid in full or arrangements must be made to settle the debt.

Students' accounts are considered delinquent if they are not paid in full within 60 days after the bill is issued. 91社区 places a financial hold on these accounts, preventing students from obtaining official academic transcripts and from accessing Minerva for any registration functions. In the event that a student's account has a hold preventing registration or the release of transcripts, the University may require a guaranteed form of payment, for instance, a certified cheque or money order. Certain financial holds prevent the release of diplomas. Other financial holds can affect access to non-registration functions, for example Meal Plan Top-Ups.

Interest: Interest is charged on overdue balances at the monthly rate of 1.24% (14.88% annually), multiplied by the balance outstanding after the due date (within 2鈥�3 days). The rate is evaluated each Spring, and then is set for the following academic year. See mcgill.ca/student-accounts/your-account/deadlines-and-penalties/overdue for more information.

The University has no obligation to issue any transcript of record, award any diploma, or re-register you as a student if you do not pay your tuition fees, library fees, residence fees, or loans by their due date.

If you are taking courses as part of the Quebec Inter-University Transfer (IUT) agreement, you are required to pay the fees at your home university; see Quebec Inter-University Transfer Agreement. The agreement covers only the transfer of academic credits.

IUT students taking courses at 91社区 are required to pay additional course charges that are compulsory upon registration, such as special activity charges or course material costs.

The University reserves the right to refuse course registrations in non-government-funded activities.

Acceptance of fees by the University in no way guarantees that students will receive academic permission to pursue their studies. If it is subsequently determined that your academic standing does not permit you to continue, all fees paid in advance will be refunded.

For directions on requesting your refund online in Minerva, see mcgill.ca/student-accounts/your-account/requesting-refund.

Deferred Admission: Students who defer their admission to the University will be subject to the tuition rates that are in effect for the term in which they are starting, and not the term in which they were originally admitted. This is of interest to International students in particular programs where tuition rates have been guaranteed for the duration of their program as long as there is no break in enrolment.

Degree Transfers: International undergraduate students and students in non-research graduate programs who transfer to degrees in Computer Science, Engineering, Law, Management, or Science will be charged the tuition rate in effect for newly admitted students to those degrees in their term of transfer.

Break in Enrolment: Quebec Residents may need to reprove their fee status if they have been absent (i.e., not enrolled) for more than two terms (not counting the Summer term). Students may verify their legal status in Minerva (select the appropriate term) to confirm that the QC residency status is still active. Terms for which students are recorded as being away on an officially approved leave of absence are not counted as enrolment terms.

International students who are charged fees at the self-financed rate (all undergraduate or graduate level non-research programs) who are absent (i.e., not enrolled) for more than one term (excluding the summer), will be charged the tuition rate in effect for newly admitted students in the term in which they resume their studies. Note that a term of withdrawal from the University is included in the calculation of the break in enrolment when students are not charged tuition for that term. Terms for which students are registered on an officially approved leave of absence, exchange or study away program are not calculated as part of a break in enrolment. This policy is not applicable to Visiting and Special students as international students in these categories always pay the fees of the new academic year.

Students in two programs are normally billed additional fees for their second program. Depending on the level of the two programs (e.g., one at the undergraduate level versus one at the graduate level), you may incur both society and faculty fees and/or additional tuition fees. Consult the Student Accounts website at mcgill.ca/student-accounts/tuition-fees/general-tuition-and-fees-information/exchange-senior-citizens-part-time-and-double-program for further details.

You should consult the Student Accounts Office at student.accounts [at] mcgill.ca for information on tuition fees. Adjustments to bills are made throughout the term in cases where fees cannot be automatically calculated.
