Tuition

Tuition fees are competitive with other institutions providing a comparable calibre of teaching, with faculty-student ratios of 1:25 or better. We reserve $500 of every full fee received for a bursary fund. Scholarships are awarded very occasionally for exceptional achievement.

Students also cover the cost of required books, though many course texts are supplied at no charge.

Tuition payments must be made in three instalments: $1000 upon acceptance and $3500 on the first day of classes each semester.

Residence

Housing needs of students are met by space at the College and additional rental accommodation in the area. The residences are not co-ed and out-of-town students are expected to live in residence.

Each student is provided with a bed and mattress, dresser, desk with light, and chair. Students are self-supervising with the support of a designated Resident Advisor and are responsible for their own cooking in a fully-equipped kitchen. Every effort is made to provide a supportive community for the students.

The residence fee includes utilities, local phone service, long-distance to Canada, the U.S., and 26 other countries, cordless phone, high-speed internet access at the College and the residences, free use of a laser printer, copier, and scanner at the College, and a community meal twice a week. Students must cover their remaining food expenses.

Residence costs are subject to local market conditions from year to year as the College does not own property. We are also required to pay for housing year-round: the residence fees are for eight months, but they include the rental cost for the full year, which is typical of all student housing.

Residence fees are due the first day of classes each semester, preferably along with the tuition payments.

Payment by Foreign students

Students from outside Canada may make initial payments in foreign funds using approximate amounts, but the final payment must either be in Canadian funds -- for example, by money order -- or in a foreign amount that completely covers the amount owing.
