Study wherever and whenever you want
You can study wherever and whenever you want, at the pace that suits you best. Just set a study schedule based on your educational, professional, and family activities. This means that you can decide whether to work intensively through the course or take the entire six months of time allotted to you. You just need to ensure that you respect the guidelines detailed in the Introduction and Instructions guide. Cégep à distance students take, on average, four and a half months to complete their courses.

We recommend that you begin working on a course as soon as you receive your materials, so that you can make some immediate progress and set the pace for your studies.
You will receive course materials by mail or through the Internet. They usually include:

- A textbook with a workbook or course pack
- Exercises, answer keys, and assignments

Fees
Tuition fees are the same in all public CEGEPs. If you have a right to tuition-free studies, you do not have to pay tuition fees. You always have to pay for the course materials, which are never refundable. See Fees for more details.
Cost of taking a complete program
If you are planning to enrol in one of our programs in French, please note that only the courses you register for in your registration session are included in the calculation of the fees to pay when you register (see the description of each course). This allows you to spread out the cost of all the program courses over the total duration of your studies. The total cost of taking a program may vary. If you would like an estimate of the total cost, you have to add up the material costs for each course and all tuition fees, if any, based on your student status and your eligibility for tuition-free studies (see Fees and the Student status and tuition-free studies section of this page). Other factors may also influence the total amount of fees you have to pay.
