Paying Tuition
Questions about paying
Anything else, our admissions team is happy to answer at 905-265-9229.
How do we pay tuition?ShowHide
For full-time, night, and summer school, you can pay by e-transfer to accounts@vaughancollege.ca, by cheque payable to Vaughan College Inc., or in cash. Online courses are paid online when you check out. International families can also pay through PayMyTuition.
When is tuition due?ShowHide
For full-time students, a full year’s tuition is due by the first week of September, and a single semester’s by the first day of that semester. If you’d rather pay over time, we offer payment plans, with the first payment made when you register. Night, summer, and part-time course fees are paid when you enrol. International families pay on their own schedule, set out on our Pay Tuition page.
Can we pay in installments?ShowHide
Yes. We arrange a payment plan with each family, and the tuition details we send explain how it works. Mention it when you ask, or call us at 905-265-9229.
Do part-time and online students pay an application fee?ShowHide
No. The application fee applies only to new full-time students, and it’s billed later in the admissions process. Night school, summer school, and online courses have no application fee.
Do international students pay different fees?ShowHide
For full-time study, yes. International students have their own tuition and application fee, and the details we send for an international student cover both. Night school, summer school, and online courses cost the same for every student.
How do online courses differ from night school?ShowHide
Night and summer courses are taught live by a teacher, in class or virtually, on a set schedule. Online courses are self-study: your child works through the course in our online classroom, with an Ontario-certified teacher assigned to mark the work and answer questions.
What is your refund policy?ShowHide
Full-time tuition, the application fee, and the incidental fee are non-refundable, including if you withdraw before classes begin. For night, summer, and part-time courses, a refund may be considered if you withdraw in writing before the course starts. Online courses are non-refundable, but you can switch to another course for free within seven days if the student hasn’t started any coursework. International families have their own terms. The details are in our refund policy.
