Quebec resident tuition status

Apply and qualify as a Quebec resident

Quebec residents pay a lower tuition rate at Quebec Universities than other Canadian or international students. To pay Quebec resident tuition rates, first you must apply for Quebec resident tuition status. Failure to provide proof of residency will result in higher tuition fees which cannot be refunded retroactively.

Apply for Quebec resident tuition status

You can apply for Quebec Resident status in your Student Centre.

Scroll down to the main Personal Information section and select Quebec Residency Application. You can also access your Student Centre from the Student Hub’s My CU Account page.

NOTE: If the Quebec Residency Application option is not available under the Personal Information section, it is because you are an international student and are not eligible to apply for Quebec Resident status. If you think you are eligible for one of the international tuition exemptions, please contact quebec.residency@concordia.ca
