Tuition FAQ

How does paying for school work?

Once you are accepted, we request an $250 deposit to guarantee your spot in the program.

We subtract that deposit from your total tuition, and the balance is due before June 30 of the next year. You must arrange payment and secure funding for your contract signing that happens before school to guarantee you can pay for College.

In order to obtain your certificate or diploma, you must have paid in full for the program you completed.

There are multiple options for funding, which we will discuss below.

Are there other funding options besides Canada Student Loans?

Yes, there are many funding options besides Canada Student Loans, including Employment Insurance, Band Funding, scholarships from various parties and organizations, student line of credit and more.

What are my funding options?

You have a few funding options for College. These include self-funding, funding through family members, student loans, student study grants and bursaries, scholarships and lines of credit.

Does the College provide funding options?

The College is not a financial institution and cannot issue loans. However, we do allow you to pay over the course of the year with a number of no-interest payment plans.

What payment plans are available for students?

If you are self-funding, we have four payment plans available.

  1. One lump sum at the beginning of the year.

  2. Two payments; one in August and one in January.

  3. Four quarterly payments.

  4. Ten monthly payments.

Whichever payment plan you choose, you will set up an automatic withdrawal accordingly at your contract signing meeting with the Registrar.

How much are the payments roughly?

You can find out how much your payments will be using this formula:

Total Tuition - ($250 deposit) / (number of payments)

If the program is not the right fit for me, will I be able to withdraw from the program without paying the full tuition?

Yes. If you decide to withdraw from the program, immediately send us a letter or email indicating that you want to withdraw and the date.

If you have paid more tuition than the educational hours observed, we will refund you the amount based upon the date you withdrew.

If I could buy books from a previous student, would I be able to cut costs there?

As long as the textbooks are the current edition, you can purchase them outside the College. Please be sure to mention this during your contract signing meeting so that the costs can be deducted from your total tuition.
