Administrative Charges
The University charges a number of administrative fees to students which include:
Registration Charge - All students in courses and programs are assessed a registration fee.
Information Technology Charge - The purpose of the information technology fee is to enhance certain technology services provided to students as well as to provide training and support to students in the use of new technology.
Transcripts and Diploma Charge - The University charges a transcripts and diploma fee to all students which entitles you to order transcripts free of charge as well as covers the costs of your graduation.
Copyright Fee - All students in courses and programs are charged the copyright fee which covers the cost of the annual fee that all Quebec universities are required to pay to Copibec (a consortium that protects the interests of authors and editors) for the right to photocopy materials protected by copyright.
General Administrative Charge - As per the Quebec government’s regulation on administrative fee increases, students are assessed $7.50 in the Summer term and a total of $15 for the Fall and Winter terms to cover indexation for the Registration Charge, the Information Technology Charge, Transcripts and Diploma Charge, and the Copyright Fee. A portion of the increase allowed will as well be used to increase the funding provided to Athletics. As a result, students may see a decrease in their General Administrative Charge to take into account their additional contribution to Athletics.
