Term refers to a particular four-month period of course study:

Fall term – September to December;
Winter term – January to April;

Note 2 – Co-operative fee

An additional fee assessed to all co-operative program students enrolled in more than two .5-unit courses per term, for a prescribed number of academic terms.

Note 3 – Tuition rates for co-op students

Tuition for co-op students is set at a rate of $14.00 per term higher than the corresponding rate for non-co-op students. This additional fee will recover the academic-related costs of marking work reports and is calculated in accordance with guidelines approved by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

Students who have arranged fees for the normally scheduled number of academic terms, but are required to arrange fees for additional terms in order to complete their academic degree requirements are exempted from the co-op and work report marking portion of their fees for the additional terms.  Please contact Student Financial Services to have co-op and work report marking fees removed that are in excess of the number required by the specific program.
