Compulsory Fees for Continuing Studies Students
McGill Association of Continuing Education Students (MACES) Fee
A fee of $12.99 per course is collected from each student by the University on behalf of the McGill Association of Continuing Education Students ().
Exceptions:
- Students in short courses, seminars, and workshops that are not recorded on the official McGill transcript are not members of MACES and are not assessed the MACES fee.
- The MACES fee does not apply to students who are already members of the undergraduate or graduate campus level society (, , or ), except in certain cases where the student is in more than one program. For further information about MACES, see Student Governance: McGill Association of Continuing Education Students (MACES).
SCS Career Development Success Package (SCSD)
This fee is non opt-outable and is charged to all School of Continuing Studies (SCS) students who are members of MACES, registered in credit and non-credit courses in the Fall, Winter, and Summer terms. Students enrolled in credit courses are charged $6.60 per credit and students in non-credit courses are charged the corresponding amount ($6.60 per billing hour, typically three per course).
Students will have access to a consolidated suite of services offered by the McGill Writing Centre (MWC) Tutorial Service, while they remain fee-paying students, in addition to career services provided by the Career Advising and Transition Services (CATS) unit while fee-paying students and up to 18 months post-graduation. The fee is valid for five years, effective Fall 2019, up to and including Winter 2024 at which time MACES will bring the student fee back to the student body in a referendum.
Administrative Charges
Administrative Charges
The University assesses a number of administrative charges to students, which include:
Registration Charge – All students in courses and programs are assessed a registration charge.
Information Technology Charge – The purpose of the information technology charge is to enhance certain technological services provided to students as well as to provide training and support to students in the use of new technologies.
Transcripts and Diploma Charge – The University assesses a transcripts and diploma charge to all students. This entitles currently enrolled students to order transcripts free of charge and covers the costs of producing diplomas and some of the costs associated with convocation ceremonies. Students who attend their convocation may be responsible for some additional costs. A fee per official transcript is applicable if you have not been registered at McGill in the last 12 months. Please see www.mcgill.ca/student-records/transcripts for further information.
Copyright Fee – All students in courses and programs are charged a copyright compliance fee. This fee covers the cost of using material protected by copyright. It is levied to comply with all Quebec and Canadian copyright laws.
General Administrative Charge – This fee originated from increases in ancillary fees that were allowed by the Quebec Government. The University complies with the Quebec government's regulation on administrative fee increases by applying the same indexation factor that the government applies to tuition to this charge. A portion of the amount continues to be directed to Athletics (except in the School of Continuing Studies).
