Tuition and Other Fees
Master’s and PhD Programs
General
Master’s and PhD program students pay tuition and other fees based on the total number of academic credits in their program. The fees are charged in equal installments over a certain number of Tuition Billing Cycle terms irrespective of course registration or academic notations, e.g. Continuation in Program (CIP), Studies Outside Québec (STOQ), etc.
Fees are charged at a fixed rate to all students currently enrolled in a Master’s or PhD program. The rate at which fees are billed is determined by the students’ initial admission status (full- or part-time) in their program of study. Students who change from full-time to part-time status before they have completed one half (1/2) of their Tuition Billing Terms will have the number of terms in their Tuition Billing Cycle and Academic Time-limit adjusted. Students who change from full-time to part-time status after they have completed one half (1/2) of their Tuition Billing Terms will only have the number of terms in their Academic Time-limit adjusted.
Students who complete their Master’s or PhD program degree requirements before all tuition for their program of study has been billed will be charged the balance of their program’s tuition & other fees once they apply for graduation.
Students who are required to take (extra) academic credits/courses in addition to the nominal academic credits in their program of enrolment, i.e. deficiency credits will be charged a maximum of three credits of tuition and other fees per term until all “course deficiency” (academic) credits have been billed. Students who have been awarded a fee remission will be charged at an accelerated rate (equivalent of 11.25 credits per term) over fewer terms so as to take full advantage of the award.
Once students have been billed all the tuition and other fees for their program, they will be charged Continuation and other fees every term until they graduate from their program. Once students have reached their Academic Time-limit and if they have been granted a Time-limit Extension (TLE), they will be charged Time-limit Extension and other fees for every term of the TLE.
Permanent Code Penalty. Students who do not submit or apply for a permanent code will be charged an additional tuition premium of $ 406.47 per credit. Please refer to Permanent Code information in the Graduate Admissions section.

Financial Obligations for all Graduate Students (Certificate, Diploma, Qualifying, Master’s/Magisteriate, and PhD program students; Independent & Visiting/Exchange Students)
Once a student registers for a course(s), or enrols in a Master’s or PhD program, he/she is responsible for payment of the resulting fees. Students are required to make payment when fees become due; that is, the payment must appear on the student’s account no later than 11:59 pm on the published payment deadline date. Student account balances are available on the student portal at www.MyConcordia.ca. Payment deadline dates follow in this section of this Calendar. No printed invoices or statements of account will be issued by the University.
Accounts & Registration Restrictions. In order to register in future terms, the student’s account must be in good standing (paid in full). All monies owing to the University (such as tuition and other fees, residence rent, emergency loans, library fines, etc.) must be paid when they become due.
Students with overdue or delinquent accounts are not permitted to register or re-register until payment or satisfactory payment arrangements have been made with the Student Accounts Office (see payment deadlines below).
Other Accounts Restrictions. Failure to make payment, or to arrange satisfactory payment settlement of amounts owing to the University when they become due is sufficient cause to bar the student from classes or examinations, and to withhold diplomas, scholastic certificates, or transcripts of record until the debt is adjusted with the University.
Student Account Balance. Students are required to make payment when fees become due; that is, the payment must appear on the student’s account no later than 11:59 pm on the published payment deadline date. Student account balances are available on the student portal at www.MyConcordia.ca. Payment deadline dates follow in this section of this Calendar.

The moment the student registers for one or more courses, the student’s Account Balance (on the student portal) is automatically billed.
Methods of Payment. The University will not accept cash for the payment of student tuition and other fees. Payments can be made by debit card (Interac), MasterCard, Visa, certified cheque, money order or personal cheque. Payments can be made at any chartered bank or automatic teller machine in Canada. Payments can also be made through most Canadian banking institutions’ telephone and Web payment services; and, through the Concordia University’s On-Line Credit Card Payment Service available on the Financial Page of the Student Portal (www.myconcordia.ca).
Payment Arrangements. Students encountering difficulties meeting their financial obligations with regard to outstanding balances on their student account should contact the Student Accounts Office, Hall Building, Room H-541, (514-848-2424 ext. 4900) before the payment deadline date.
Other Methods of Payment (Payment Arrangements)
Please note
Payment arrangements do not supersede the University’s tuition and other fees payment policies with regard to the assessment of interest charges, late payment fees, the release of transcripts, student records, degrees, diplomas, or other official records, or permission to register in future terms. In addition, students will not be permitted to register for additional courses or future academic terms until all current amounts due are paid in full. Interest charges and late payment fees are assessed on all outstanding balances (and deferred balances) regardless of whether or not a payment arrangement has been made with the Student Accounts Office.
The Student Accounts Office reserves the right to cancel a current registration if payment arrangements are not honoured. However, current registrations will not automatically be cancelled for non-payment of a student’s account.
Miscellaneous fees/charges. Miscellaneous fees (e.g. interest charges, locker fees, fines, etc.) are due 30 days from the date that the charge is posted to the student’s account. After that date, interest charges and late payment fees will be applied to unpaid balances.
Adjustments to Accounts. All accounts are subject to revision for changes to the published scale of fees (which may be made without prior notice at or before the beginning of an academic term), registrations of record and for the adjustment of errors or omissions, as well as in the case of courses cancelled by the University.
Returned Items (Cheques, Credit Card Payments). Current and/or future registrations may be cancelled if a cheque or credit card payment is returned for any reason. A $20 processing fee will be charged for each returned item.
Unpaid, Overdue Fees. If monies owing to the University are not paid when they become due, that is, the covering payment does not appear on the student’s account by 11:59 pm on the prescribed deadline date, the monies owing will be considered to be overdue and the student’s account will be considered to be delinquent.

Option Changes
When students are granted an option change, their program time limit and tuition fee billing cycles are not adjusted. The academic time limit and billing cycles are not extended and continue to be counted from term of admission to the original program of study. All tuition and other fees paid in the original option are transferable to the new program of study and are not forfeited.
This rule also applies to students changing between the following programs if registration is continuous and in consecutive terms:
Program transfers between the Master’s in Business Administration (MBA programs) and the Diploma in Chartered Accountancy are exceptios, provided the student has completed the Diploma program requirements and has not graduated (that is, the degree/diploma has not been conferred).
Upon official withdrawal from the Diploma in Chartered Accountancy programs, up to a maximum of 30 credits are transferred to the MBA program and are not forfeited. The transfer of program must be processed within 2 years (6 academic terms) from the last registration in the original program of study.
Special Degree Transfers (New Admissions)
When a graduate student transfers to a Concordia Master’s thesis or PhD program to continue graduate work started at another institution, financial credit equal to the number of academic transfer credits will be granted to the new admission.
When a Concordia graduate program student transfers to a different Master’s or PhD within Concordia, financial credits equal to the number of transfer credits approved for the new admission but not exceeding the tuition paid in the original program will be granted. This does not apply to transfers to or from graduate privatized programs.
