Course materials fees
The course materials fees are based on the amount and type of course materials, and whether you are reapplying for a course that you have already taken at Cégep à distance.
Note that you always have to pay the course materials fees, registration fees, special fees, other fees and shipping fees, as well as the admission fees, if applicable.
Note: Cégep à distance will not accept or refund returned learning materials. Furthermore, these materials cannot be transferred from one student to another.
Re-enrolment in the same course
If you are re-enrolling in the same course, you can use the same course materials if the course version has not changed. We will then give you a new series of assignments. Make sure you still have all the course materials and mention it in your application.
Non-resident of Québec
If you were born outside of Québec
All Canadian citizens or permanent residents who do not qualify as Québec residents are charged the special fees for non-residents of $1,833 for full-time enrolment and $8.95 per course hour for part-time registration.
To qualify as a resident of Québec, you must provide documents attesting to your residency in Québec.
Student status and tuition-free studies
Free tuition means that the Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur (MES) subsidizes your tuition fees for the course.
Tuition-free status applies only to tuition fees. Therefore, you must pay certain fees even if you are eligible for tuition-free studies (see Fees above).
Free tuition applies in the following three situations:
1. Full-time registration in a DCS/DEC program
Your application must include at least four courses, or the equivalent of 180 course hours.
2. Deemed full-time status
If you have a major functional disability under the terms of the Financial Assistance Regulation, your part-time application must include fewer than four courses and fewer than 180 hours. You must provide a medical report. You will find the form on the Official forms and documents page.
3. Registration with a commandite that grants free tuition
When you enrol with a commandite that gives you free tuition in a public, private, or subsidized CEGEP or in a government institution for the fall and winter semesters.
For registration in the summer semester, you have to pay the full amount at the time of registration with Cégep à distance. The tuition fees will be refunded to you after your college confirms your tuition-free status with the MES.
