Compulsory Fees for Continuing Studies Students
³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ 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 ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Association of Continuing Education Students ().
Exceptions:
- Students in short courses, seminars, and workshops that are not recorded on the official ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ 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: ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Association of Continuing Education Students (MACES).
SCS Career Advising & Transition Services (CATS) Fee
The School of Continuing Studies (SCS) has been offering workshops, individual sessions and networking events as part of its Career Advising and Transition Services to students registered in credit and non-credit courses. A portion of these services have, up to now, been funded through temporary means through the School. Further to a referendum in March 2016 conducted by the ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Association of Continuing Education Students (MACES), a fee was approved to provide the financial support required to expand the services to include a job board, internships, mentorship and other special programs for targeted groups.
The fee is $15.00 per term and is to be renewed every three years. It is non opt-outable and charged to all SCS students who are members of MACES and registered in credit and non-credit courses. Students will have access to CATS services as they become available, and up to one calendar year following graduation.
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 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 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 the Convocation ceremony. Students who attend the Convocation may be responsible for some additional costs. A fee per official transcript is applicable if you have not been registered at ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ 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).
