FEES and OTHER COSTS*
Note: Tuition fees stated are in effect for 2004/05, and are subject to change
for 2005/06.
Some courses are offered on a full cost-recovery basis. Their fees may be
higher. The fees will be shown in the Registration Guide and Timetable.
* For a detailed breakdown of tuition fees,
see Tuition Fee table.
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.
Senior citizens age 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.

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.
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.
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 all fees when due will result in withdrawal from all courses and
forfeit of the deposit.
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).
Refunds/fee reductions
The following guidelines for refund/reduction of fees apply to all classes
except courses offered through the Continuing Studies department. For
information on refunds for Continuing Studies (CS) courses, please check the CS

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 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.
