Ancillary Fees

Ancillary fees are fees charged in addition to the cost of tuition, which support services and activities distinct from academic programming for the institution.

To enroll in or successfully complete any course or program eligible for general purpose operating grant funding, students must pay ancillary fees in addition to tuition fees. These fees may be increased or expanded to include new fees through the implementation of a protocol agreement between the college’s administration and student government representatives, and with the approval of the Board of Governors.

Ancillary fees are regulated by the Fee Protocol Committee. Once agreed upon and approved, these fees are mandatory and charged to all students unless otherwise stated.

Fees are listed below for full time students. Essential ancillary fees are prorated for students registered on a part-time basis.
