Tuition Fees for 2009-2010
All six-credit professional development program courses are $ 960.
Non-refundable Tuition Fee Deposit
A $100 non-refundable tuition fee deposit is required to cover administrative costs is required for registration to all courses. The $100 deposit is refunded only in the case of a course cancellation by the Faculty. The balance of the tuition fees after this deposit is $860 and can be paid using banking services, the telephone or the Internet once you have proof of being registered. See the important dates for payment of fees deadlines.
Registration-related Fees
Registration may require some additional fees:
- File Evaluation Fee (for the evaluation of registration applications for ABQ Intermediate, Senior and Honour Specialist courses): $50
- Late registration: $50 day + $10 per working day (maximum of $100)
- Late payment, in addition to accumulated interest, per invoice: $35
- Returned cheques (NSF): $25
Cancellation of Registration
Candidates who wish to withdraw from their approved course must inform the Academic Secretariat of the Faculty, in writing, by the deadline. Tuition fees (minus the $100 non-refundable deposit) will be refunded. Failure to comply will result in a grade of ABS (equivalent to grade F) and fees will remain payable.
Withdrawal from a course after the deadline published at the beginning of this guide does not necessarily remove the financial obligation even if the student submits a medical certificate .
Reimbursements
See the important dates for a session for the dates for partial or full refund.
For a cancellation of registration, the $100 deposit will be withheld from the amount to be reimbursed or credited, except for refunds of 50% or if the course is cancelled by the Faculty.
For all reimbursements, an administrative charge of $25 per course will be withheld. Administrative charges do not apply if the amounts credited are transferred for registration in another session.
Invoicing and Late Payment of Tuition Fees
The University sends invoices to the mailing address provided in the candidate’s record. In some cases (e.g., a candidate registers too close to the deadline, or provides an incorrect mailing address), it is possible that candidate will not receive an invoice before the deadline date to pay tuition. There is a fee for the late payment of tuition, therefore, all candidates are advised to confirm the amount owed by consulting their account (accessible at any time) through InfoWeb or by calling InfoService at 613-562-5700.
Exemption of Fees
Tuition fee exemptions normally awarded by the University do not apply to professional development programs, as these programs are self-financed.
Delinquent Accounts
For candidates whose accounts are delinquent, no recommendation will be made to the Ontario College of Teachers. The Certificate of Qualification, therefore, will show no new qualification. These candidates will not be allowed to re-register at the University until the account has been settled in full. This provision also applies to unpaid fines levied by University services such as the library, parking, sports services, etc.
It should be understood that transcripts, letters of attestation, certificates and diplomas are the property of the University and that students with unpaid accounts have no right to these documents, nor to participate in graduation ceremonies. This policy applies even in cases where the student has declared bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Act.
