Quebec Students and Non-Quebec (Canadian or Permanent Resident) Students
Quebec Students and Non-Quebec (Canadian or Permanent Resident) Students
In accordance with provincial government requirements, students must provide proof that they qualify for assessment of fees at the Quebec or non-Quebec Canadian rates; see www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments for details. In certain cases, non-Quebec Canadian students pay the same rate of tuition as Quebec students鈥攆or further information about these exceptions, see the Student Accounts website at www.mcgill.ca/student-accounts/tuition-fees/general-tuition-and-fees-information/tuition-fee-exemptions.
Note: Students who are required to submit appropriate documentation and who do not do so by the
stipulated deadlines (December 1 鈥� Fall; April 1 鈥� Winter; August 1 鈥� Summer) are billed at
the non-Quebec Canadian or the international rate, depending on the
documentation submitted. Should your tuition status be changed during the
evaluation period, any late payment and/or interest charges accumulated on the
difference between the Quebec and Canadian tuition rates will also be waived.

International Students
Summer fee exemptions for International Students
International students enrolled at 苹果淫院 for no more than one semester (i.e., not in a degree program) are exempted from having to obtain a CAQ and Study Permit, per Immigration law. For these cases, 苹果淫院 will instead require a clear and legible PDF copy of the student's valid passport (photo and signature page), and Visitor's Visa if relevant (refer to to determine if you are required to have a Visitor鈥檚 Visa). A copy of the student's birth certificate with a legal certified translation in English or French may also be necessary. For further information, visit www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments.
Note: Visa-exempt foreign nationals who study in Canada for less than 6 months will require an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to study in Canada. Exceptions include U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid visa. The Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is completed online. Please visit .
Exemptions from international tuition fees may be claimed by students in certain categories. Such students, if eligible, are then assessed at the Quebec student rate (certain categories may be assessed at the Canadian tuition rate). These categories, and the required documentation for each of them, may be viewed at www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments. Further information regarding these reductions of International Tuition Fees by the Quebec government is available on the Student Accounts website under Tuition & Fees > General Tuition and Fees Information > Tuition fee exemptions. International students who already hold a valid International Student Fee Exemption may use it for Summer courses.
For more information concerning Fee Exemptions, contact Service Point at www.mcgill.ca/students/records/contact.

Overdue Accounts
Other Policies Related to Fees: Overdue Accounts
All tuition and fees assessed by the University must be paid in full or arrangements must be made to settle the debt.
Students' accounts are considered delinquent if they are not paid in full within 60 days after the bill is issued. 苹果淫院 places a financial hold on these accounts, preventing students from obtaining official academic transcripts and from accessing Minerva for any registration functions. In the event that a student's account has a hold preventing registration or the release of transcripts, the University may require a guaranteed form of payment, for instance, a certified cheque or money order. Certain financial holds prevent the release of diplomas.
Interest: Interest is charged on overdue balances at the monthly rate of 1.24% (14.88% annually), multiplied by the balance outstanding after the due date (within 2鈥�3 days). The rate is evaluated each Spring, and then is set for the following academic year. See www.mcgill.ca/student-accounts/your-account/deadlines-and-penalties/overdue for more information.
Note: You should regularly verify your account balance on Minerva.
The University has no obligation to issue any transcript of record, award any diploma, or re-register a student if you do not pay your tuition fees, library fees, residence fees, or loans by their due date.
Information for Registered Students

Information for Students Who Are No Longer Registered
Information for Students Who Are No Longer Registered
When students fail to settle their debt or reach a suitable payment arrangement, or fail to provide the Student Accounts Office with up-to-date contact information, the University refers these delinquent accounts to a collection agency. If neither the University nor the collection agency is able to collect on the account, the University reserves the right to have the student reported to a credit bureau. You should be aware that the University is entitled to use all legal means to obtain payment and that students are responsible for all costs associated with such actions.
Cancelling Registration for Non-Payment of Previous Term(s)
Cancelling Registration for Non-Payment of Previous Term(s)
In accordance with the fee policies stated in Overdue Accounts and Information for Registered Students, before the University cancels your current and subsequent term registration(s), the Student Accounts Office will make all reasonable efforts to notify you if your account is delinquent, or if you owe more than $100 from the previous term. The cancellation is effective the last day of the add/drop period unless you settle the account or make payment arrangements with the University by then. If you pay or make payment arrangements with the Student Accounts Office after the add/drop deadline and you want the University to reinstate your registration for the current or subsequent term(s), you must complete the Request for Reinstatement form (www.mcgill.ca/student-accounts/forms) and submit it to the Student Accounts Office, which will forward it to Enrolment Services for approval and processing. Your fee account will be charged a Reinstatement Penalty for the processing of the re-enrolment; exact fee amounts and further details are available on the Student Accounts website.

Acceptance of Fees vs. Academic Standing
Other Policies Related to Fees: Acceptance of Fees vs. Academic Standing
