Part-time students (taking less than 180 hours per semester) enrolled in a program leading to a D.E.C. (Diploma) or an A.E.C. (Attestation), or as Independent Studies pay tuition fees.

Full-time students (taking 180 hours or four courses per semester) enrolled in a D.E.C. or an A.E.C. program do not pay tuition fees. They do, however, pay all other associated costs: Application (if applicable), Registration, Educational Support, Student Services Fees.

'Fin de Programme' status, i.e. students completing the last semester towards completion of their program, and taking up to three courses and less than 180 hours, must be confirmed by an Academic Advisor prior to registration.

SUPPLEMENTARY FEES

APPLICATION FEE:   New students (those who have never taken a credit course at John Abbott College) registering in credit courses, pay a non-refundable $30.00 Application Fee.

REGISTRATION FEE:  Students registering in credit courses pay a non-refundable Registration Fee of $5.00 per course.

EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT FEE: Students must pay an Educational Support Fee of $6.00 per course for services such as Academic Advising, the Learning Centre and I.D. cards.

STUDENT SERVICES FEE: Students must pay a Student Services Fee of $10.00 per course for services such as Counselling and Financial Services.

CREDIT EQUIVALENCE FEE: Students submitting credits from other institutions (other than Cegeps) will be charged a non-refundable $10.00 fee per course to defray the administrative costs of the evaluation process.

STUDENTS WITH OUTSTANDING DEBTS: Transcripts and all other records of students with outstanding debts to the College will be withheld. Students with outstanding debts will be informed in writing AND will not be permitted to register for a subsequent semester until the debt is paid. In the case of graduating students, transcripts will not be forwarded, nor the D.E.C. or A.E.C. issued, until the debt is paid.

NSF Cheques
Students with NSF (not sufficient funds), or other returned or cancelled cheques, will be duly notified to allow re-payment before facing penalties for non-payment of course fees. Non-payment after September 19, 2013 Course Withdrawal Deadline may result in an “EC” (failure) in the course.

"Fin de Programme” Students
Due to changes in regulations from the Ministry of Education regarding Fin-de-Programme students, i.e. students completing the last semester towards their Diploma and taking up to three courses (less than 180 hours), all students are required to pay tuition fees and other associated costs. Upon verification of Fin-de-Programme status, eligible students will receive a tuition refund. All Fin-de-Programme students must see an Academic Advisor before or at registration.
