A. Tuition and Other Fees
The University reserves the right to modify the published scale of tuition and other student fees without prior notice, at any time before the beginning of an academic term. The most current Tuition & Fees information is available on the Concordia University website (www.Concordia.ca), Quick Link to the “Tuition and Fees” site.
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 or academic notation, e.g. Continuation in Program (CIP).
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.
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, deficiency credits, will be charged a maximum of three credits of tuition and other fees per term until all "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.

The Québec Ministry of Education (MEQ) requires all registered students to have a "permanent code" (a unique identifying number) which is assigned by the MEQ. Students who do not provide a valid code with their application must apply for one. Information on how to apply for a permanent code and a link to the on-line "Permanent Code Data Form" can be found at http://permanentcode.concordia.ca. The on-line Permanent Code Data form must be completed and submitted to the Birks Student Service Centre. All students who have attended elementary or high school, or CEGEP in Québec have already been assigned a permanent code. The permanent code appears on all Québec school transcripts. Students who do not submit or apply for a permanent code will be charged an additional premium of $348.60 in the 2008/1 Summer semester and $406.47 beginning in the 2008/2 Fall semester per credit.
