Full-time students

A student is considered full-time if they are registered in at least 70% of the credit hours or 2/3 of the required courses for the semester. Full-time students pay fees accordingly. If a student has a course overload, additional fees may be incurred. The assessed tuition fee cannot be offset by a reduced course load in the previous semester. Tuition costs are determined on a credit basis in accordance with the guidelines stipulated by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

The eligibility and nature of assistance offered through the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is determined by the course load, which is 60% (or 40% if you have a permanent disability) each semester.

Part-time day students

A student can be part-time and work towards a credential. This type of student will follow the above registration process and then meet with the program coordinator to complete an add/drop form. Once the form has been completed, fees will be charged according to the credit load. Tuition costs are determined on a credit basis in accordance with the guidelines stipulated by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

Part-time evening students

Registration for part-time evening study may require admission to a program if you are working towards a credential on a part-time basis. If you are simply taking part-time continuing education interest courses then you can register for those online or in the Enrolment Centre. Students pay fees on a course-by-course basis and full payment of fees is required at the time of registration. Many courses are also offered through distance education and independent learning as well as on the Internet.

Full-time day students may register for evening courses on a tuition fee waiver with the approval of their program Dean/Director if the course they require is not available to them during the day schedule. Any course taken in addition to a regular course load will be assessed an overload fee based on the same rate as part-time fees.

Full-time students adding an evening course to their full-time program must notify the Registrar’s Office (Enrolment Centre) at enrolmentcentre@cambriancollege.ca
