Tuition and fee details

General information

The Board of Governors annually approves a Fee Schedule for tuition, compulsory and optional ancillary fees, and other incidental fees for the college. Tuition covers only part of the costs associated with post-secondary education. The tuition fee and other specific fees can be claimed as a deduction for income tax purposes, subject to tax regulations.

Tuition for full-time session programs

Tuition is normally calculated and billed on a two-session basis if both sessions fall within the same academic year. In programs scheduled for more than two sessions, the length of the program determines the amount of tuition.

Tuition for full-time non-session certificate and vocational preparation programs

Students in these programs are expected to complete the program in less than one year. Program length is indicated in weeks. Fees are not reduced for statutory holidays, but no fees are charged for the December holiday break.

Tuition for part-time courses

Tuition for part-time courses is calculated on a rate per hour. Some compulsory fees may apply.

International student fees

If an international student acquires Canadian citizenship, permanent residence status, or meets the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities criteria for exemption for international tuition fees during the session, the student must provide the documentation and submit it in writing to internationalfees@conestogac.on.ca prior to the start of the next session.

Fees will not be reduced due to a change in status for the current session.  The fees payable by Canadian citizens, permanent residents or exempt students will apply only to the future sessions in which the student is registered.

PROGRAM-SPECIFIC FEES

Program Services Fee (co-op programs)

All students in co-op programs, including mandatory, optional and alternative, such as guided career management, pay a non-refundable fee to offset costs involved with the wide variety of services and supports that are provided.

The Program Services Fee is billed in equal payments over the number of academic terms in which a student is registered in the program.

  • Students in programs that have both direct entry and optional co-op opportunities will be billed the Program Services Fee.
  • The calculation for the Program Services Fee for students in programs with optional co-op work terms (such as in some degree programs) will use the maximum number of co-op terms required by the program multiplied by the current rate.
  • In the event that a co-op work term is missed and all academic work is completed, the student will not be charged an additional Program Services Fee.

Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) Documentation Fee (confirmed via email)

This mandatory fee covers the cost of tracking health-related and other required student documentation prior to student WIL experiences.
