Fees and Expenses

A. Fees For Full-Time Postsecondary Students 

The basis for fee assessment for all programs/courses will be the definition of a full-time student.

A full-time post-secondary student is a student who is:

  • enrolled in a program which has been approved by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU) and/or the 91探花 Board of Governors; AND 
  •  carrying a workload of at least 70% of the program credits, or 66 2/3 of the courses required for the program, in  any semester (except for Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) students, where program full-time  is defined as a minimum of 12 credits or 4 courses per semester).

An academic period is defined as follows:

  • FALL: September 1 to December 31
  •  WINTER: January 1 to April 30
  • SUMMER: May 1 to August 31

Note: A Student Achievement and Records fee will be assessed for each program of study and is typically charged in the
first semester.

i) Course Overload Fees

When students register for more courses and credits than are required for their particular program and semester, a
course overload occurs. This will result in additional fees being charged. Students are advised to contact the Registrar鈥檚
Office when adding a course(s) to determine if the addition(s) will result in an 鈥渙verload鈥 situation.

ii) Extracurricular Course Fees

Regardless of course load, students enrolling in courses outside of their program graduation requirements will be
assessed additional fees.

iii) Additional Information

  •  Fees not paid by the semester deadline dates are subject to a $150 late payment fee.
  •  Some programs have additional program-related fees that are assessed either annually or one-time and are listed at tthe end of this document.
  •  Fees for course overloads and extra-curricular courses will be assessed after the 鈥渁dd deadline鈥欌 in each semester (see Key Dates Calendar).
  •  A 100% level is the total number of program credits scheduled for a given program and level in a particular semester.

B. Fees For Part-Time Postsecondary Students 

A part-time post-secondary student is a student who is enrolled in course(s) less than 70% of the program credits and
fewer than 66 2/3 of the courses required for the program in any semester (except for Collaborative Bachelor of Science
in Nursing (BScN) students, where program part-time is defined as less than 12 credits or 4 courses per semester).

Part-time tuition fees for most post-secondary programs (excluding BScN, Aviation Technology 鈥 Flight, and
Mechatronics) are calculated on the basis of approximately $5.91 per credit hour x 14 weeks (subject to change at Sault
College鈥檚 discretion). Some programs may have a higher part-time calculation rate. Tuition fees for part-time students
