In accordance with provincial government requirements, students must provide proof that they qualify for assessment of fees at the Quebec or non-Quebec Canadian rates; see www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments for details. In certain cases, non-Quebec Canadian students pay the same rate of tuition as Quebec students – for further information about these exceptions, see the Student Accounts website under Tuition and Fees > General Information.

International students enrolled at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ for no more than one semester (i.e., not in a degree program) are exempted from having to obtain a CAQ and Study Permit, per Immigration law. For these cases, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ will instead require proof of identity (photocopy) of your valid Visitor Visa issued by Immigration Canada (refer to to determine if you are required to have a Visitor’s Visa). If exempt from a Visitor’s Visa, students may alternatively provide us with a copy of their valid passport with the entry stamp issued by the Immigration official at the port of entry into Canada (we may also require a copy of their birth certificate with a legal certified translation in English or French, if necessary). For further information, visit www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments.

Exemptions from international tuition fees may be claimed by students in certain categories. Such students, if eligible, are then assessed at the Quebec student rate (certain categories may be assessed at the Canadian tuition rate). These categories, and the required documentation for each of them, may be viewed at www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments. Further information regarding these reductions of International Tuition Fees by the Quebec government is available on the Student Accounts website under Tuition and Fees > General Information. International students who already hold a valid International Student Fee Exemption may use it for Summer courses.

For more information concerning Fee Exemptions, contact Service Point at www.mcgill.ca/students/records/contact.

All tuition and fees assessed by the University must be paid in full or arrangements must be made to settle the debt.

Students' accounts are considered delinquent if they are not paid in full within 60 days after the bill is issued. ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ places a financial hold on these accounts, preventing students from obtaining official academic transcripts and from accessing Minerva for any registration functions.

Interest: Interest is charged on overdue balances at the monthly rate of 1.24%, multiplied by the balance outstanding at the end of the month (14.88% annually). The rate is evaluated each Spring, and then is set for the following academic year.

The University has no obligation to issue any transcript of record, award any diploma, or re-register a student if you do not pay your tuition fees, library fees, residence fees or loans by their due date.

If you are taking courses as part of the Quebec Inter-University Transfer (IUT) agreement, you are required to pay the fees at your home university; see Quebec Inter-University Transfer Agreement: ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Students. The agreement covers only the transfer of academic credits.

International students in undergraduate programs are not usually permitted to take IUT courses.

IUT students taking courses at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ are required to pay additional course charges that are compulsory upon registration, such as special activity charges or course material costs.

The University reserves the right to refuse course registrations in non-government-funded activities.

Acceptance of fees by the University in no way guarantees that students will receive academic permission to pursue their studies. If it is subsequently determined that your academic standing does not permit you to continue, all fees paid in advance will be refunded.

For directions on requesting your refund online in Minerva, see www.mcgill.ca/student-accounts.

Financial aid is available for students in need who are aged 65 or over and who are enrolled in full-time degree programs. Contact the Scholarships and Student Aid Office for more information at 514-398-6013.
