* For a detailed breakdown of tuition fees, see
table below.
Application fee
$45 for each application.
Additional fees
For all courses except Continuing
Studies, students will be charged the following fees in
addition to the tuition fees for each course:
• Ancillary fee: 10% of the tuition
fees for Activities, Athletics, Legacy Fund, Library and
Technical Services, Student Activity Centre, and student
insurance
• $25 per semester for Student
Union Society membership
• $4.50 per semester for the
Cascade student newspaper
• $3 per semester radio station fee
• A Health and Dental fee ($199.92
for 2005/06) is charged in fall semester to most students with
nine or more credits. See below for more information.
Senior citizens aged 65 or more as of the first day of
classes, pay 75% of tuition fee for most courses. UCFV reserves
the right to limit the number of seniors enrolled at a discount
in a given course.
Some courses or programs may require a
laboratory or materials fee.
College and Career Prep fees
(see also Tuition Fees table, below)
Tuition fees apply to students taking
College and Career Prep courses who have graduated from
secondary school. The GED certificate is considered equivalent
to secondary school completion at UCFV but does not give
students any specific credit for Grade 11 or 12 courses. Thus,
these fees do not apply to holders of the GED certificate when
taking CCP courses.
There are no fees for CCP courses
numbered below 070.
Fees for international students
There are different tuition, fee, and
refund schedules for international students. Please refer to
the International Education website at
www.ucfv.ca/intl_ed or
call 604-854-4544 or email
intl_ed@ucfv.ca for more information.
SUS Health & Dental Plan
Most full-time students who are members
of the Student Union Society (SUS) are automatically enrolled
in the SUS Health & Dental Plan. The plan provides health
and dental coverage for 12 months, from September 1, 2005 to
August 31, 2006. Students already covered by an equivalent
extended health and dental plan may opt out of the plan,
online, during the first 3 weeks of classes. Optional
enrollment in the plan is also available, for an additional
fee, to the student’s spouse and/or dependants, to most
SUS members that are not assessed the fee, and to students
beginning full-time studies in Winter semester 2006. For more
information, contact studentcare.net/works at 1-866-358-4437 or
visit
www.studentcare.net.
Legacy Fund
The UCFV Legacy Fund is based on the
belief that each person served by UCFV should contribute to the
future of the University College. The Legacy Fund supports
capital projects which directly enhance the quality of student
campus experiences. The Legacy Fund is a trust fund managed by
a special committee with representatives from the UCFV Board,
administration and the Student Union Society. The contribution
to the Legacy Fund is included in the ancillary fee.
Student Union Society fees
UCFV collects a membership fee on
behalf of the Society at the time of registration for each
semester.
Non-refundable deposit on fees
When they register, students are
required to pay a deposit (currently $200) which is applied
towards fees. In the event that students withdraw from courses
before classes begin, all or
a portion of the deposit will be forfeited to UCFV according to the dates listed in the Schedule of Events. Tuition Fees
Fee payment due date
Students are expected to pay the
balance of their fees by approximately the end of the second
week of classes (see the semester registration guide and
timetable for specific dates).
Failure to pay fees by the deadline
Failure to pay fees when due will
result in withdrawal from all courses and forfeit of the
registration deposit. Students who pay fees late, but prior to
being withdrawn, will be charged a late payment penalty
of $50.
Late registration fee
There is a late registration fee
(currently $20 per course) subject to change, for any
registration after the first seven percent of the semester (see
Schedule of Events).
The refund is based on the full course
fee, not the deposit, e.g. 10% of the total course fee is
charged (not refundable) in the first two weeks of classes.
See
Schedule
of Events
and
the semester Registration Guide and timetable for specific
dates for each semester.
Where there are extenuating
circumstances, exceptions to refund policy may be permitted.
Apply in writing to the Registrar. Please allow at least three
weeks for processing of refunds.
Financial obligations
Failure to meet financial obligations
will result in denial of UCFV services such as statements of
grades, transcripts, use of libraries. Students may be
withdrawn from all of their classes. Penalties may be applied
if obligations are not met by the deadlines. See Schedule of
Events on page 10 for fee payment deadlines. There is a $25 fee
for dishonoured cheques.
Study materials and textbooks
Text books are required for most
courses. Some UCFV instructors require the purchase of
supplemental materials and equipment for their classes. Refer
to program course outlines for details.
Income tax receipts
An official receipt for income tax
purposes will be available through Student Web services each
February for the preceding calendar year.
