A. Tuition and Other Fees
1. Master's and Ph.D. Programs
1.1 General
Master's and Ph.D. program students pay tuition and other fees based on the total number of academic credits in their program. The fees are charged in equal instalments over a certain number of Tuition Billing Cycle terms irrespective of course registration.
Fees are charged at a fixed rate to all students currently enrolled in a Master's or Ph.D. program. The rate at which fees are billed is determined by the students' initial admission status (full- or part-time) in their program of study. Students who change from full-time to part-time status before they have completed one half (1/2) of their Tuition Billing Terms will have the number of terms in their Tuition Billing Cycle and Academic Time-limit adjusted. Students who change from full-time to part-time status after they have completed half (1/2) of their Tuition Billing Terms will only have the number of terms in their Academic Time-limit adjusted and the student will continue to be billed at the full-time rate.
Students who complete their Master's or Ph.D. program degree requirements before all tuition for their program of study has been billed will be charged the balance of their program's tuition & other fees once they apply for graduation.
Students who are required to take (extra) academic credits/courses in addition to the nominal academic credits in their program of enrolment will be charged a maximum of three credits of tuition and other fees per term until all the "course deficiency" (academic) credits have been billed. Students who have been awarded a fee remission will be charged at an accelerated rate (equivalent of 11.25 credits per term) over fewer terms so as to take full advantage of the award.
Once students have been billed all the tuition and other fees for their program, they will be charged Continuation and other fees every term until they reach their academic time-limit or graduate from their program. Once students have reached their Academic Time-limit and if they have been granted a Time-limit Extension (TLE), they will be charged Time-limit Extension and other fees for every term of the TLE.
Permanent Code Penalty
Effective Fall 2000, all registered Québec university students for whom the University receives funding must have a "permanent code" which is issued by the Québec Ministry of Education. Students who do not have a "permanent code" must submit a form and supporting documentation to the Office of the Registrar. If the required documents are not submitted within the prescribed deadline, full-time students will be charged an additional $2,614.50 per term of tuition and $2,091.60 per term for part-time students. Further information, including a copy of the Permanent Code Data form, is available at: http://permanentcode.concordia.ca.
