1 Fees and Expenses Section A : : : Sault Ste. Marie, ON, Canada A. FEES FOR FULL-TIME POST-SECONDARY STUDENTS The Ontario Council of Regents for Colleges of Applied Arts & Technology draws attention to the fact that tuition fees represent only a small fraction of the total cost of providing post-secondary education through the College, the balance being provided by public funds. The basis for fee assessment for all programs/courses will be the definition of a full-time student. A full-time student is an individual who is enrolled in a Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development approved program of instruction for at least 70 percent of the student contact hours or 66 2/3 of the courses required for the program in a given semester. An academic period is defined as follows: SUMMER: May 1 to August 31 FALL: September 1 to December 31 WINTER: January 1 to April 30 Note: A graduation fee of $34 will be assessed for each program of study and typically charged in the first semester. Graduation fees help to offset some of the costs involved in conducting convocation ceremonies. i) Course Overload Fees When students register for more courses and credits than are required for their particular program and semester, a course overload occurs. This will result in additional fees being charged. Students are advised to contact the Registrar s Office when adding a course(s) to determine if the addition(s) will result in an overload situation. ii) Extracurricular Course Fees Regardless of course load, students enrolling in courses outside of program diploma/certificate requirements will be assessed additional fees. iii) Additional Information 1. Tuition fees for non-canadian (international) students may range from $14,500 - $17,500 per two semester academic year, plus ancillary fees, dependent on program of study. 2. Fees not paid by the semester deadline dates are subject to a $150 late payment fee. 3. Full-time students in Co-operative Education programs (including but not limited to Civil Engineering Technician, Natural Environment Technician/Technology Conservation and Management, Fish and Wildlife Conservation Technician, Forest Conservation Technician, Adventure Recreation and Parks Technician, and Culinary Management are required to pay a co-op fee for each academic semester. 4. Fees for course overloads and extra-curricular courses will be assessed after the add deadline in each semester (see Key Dates Calendar). 5. A 100% level is the total number of program credits scheduled for a given program and level in a particular semester.

2 B. FEES FOR PART-TIME POST-SECONDARY STUDENTS A part-time student is one with an academic load of less than 70% of the student contact hours and fewer than 66 2/3 of the required course. Part-time tuition fees for most post-secondary programs are calculated on the basis of approximately $7.50 per credit hour x 15 weeks (subject to change at Sault College s discretion). Some programs may have a higher part-time calculation rate. Tuition fees for part-time students are due in full at the time of registration. C. FEES FOR LOCKERS 1.
