How fees are billed
All students enrolled at the Institute are required to pay the Institute fee in addition to their regular academic program tuition and fees. The Institute fee helps to partially cover the services, resources, and training provided to students as Institute members.
Students enrolled at the Institute pay the total fee for their program (as listed above). They pay either in:
- 1/8th installments (typically over 8 terms) for Undergraduate Co-op or;
- 1/4 installments (typically over 4 terms) for all other Institute offerings.
Typically, students are charged either one installment of $233.74 per term, or two installments amounting to $467.48 per term (2 x 233.74 =$467.48), depending on the number of terms, up until the final work term. Students will not be charged installments after their final internship term.
Policies regarding Institute fees
Please note that for all our offerings at the Institute, this fee is non-refundable.
Students who withdraw from the Institute must do so by the term deadline (April 30 for summer term, August 31 for the fall term or December 31 for the winter term) to avoid paying additional installments. Once a withdrawal form is processed, remaining instalments will be adjusted based on when the withdrawal form was received.
