Administrative Charges

The University charges a number of administrative fees to students, which include:

Registration Charge –

All students in courses and programs are assessed a registration fee.

Information Technology Charge –

The purpose of the information technology fee is to enhance certain technology services provided to students as well as to provide training and support to students in the use of new technology.

Transcripts and Diploma Charge –

The University charges a transcripts and diploma fee to all students which entitles you to order transcripts free of charge as well as covers the costs of your graduation.

Copyright Fee –

All students in courses and programs are charged the copyright fee, which covers the cost of the annual fee that all Quebec universities are required to pay to Copibec (a consortium that protects the interests of authors and editors) for the right to photocopy materials protected by copyright.

General Administrative Charge –

This fee originated from increases in ancillary fees that were allowed by the Quebec government between 2010 and 2013. The University will now comply with the Quebec government's 2013 regulation on administrative fee increases by applying a 2.6% indexation factor to this charge starting in the Fall 2013. A portion of the amount continues to be directed to Athletics (except in the School of Continuing Studies). As a result, students may see a decrease in their General Administrative Charge to take into account their additional contribution to Athletics. For further information about administrative charges, see www.mcgill.ca/student-accounts/tuition-fees/non-tuition-charges/society-services-and-administrative-fees.
