The Student IT Fee - Students Only

The IT Fee is the result of negotiations between ITS and the Students Association. How much is paid and what students get for it is regularly reviewed and reassessed.

Note: The IT Fee is currently under review there may be cost and feature changes in the near future.

Each course is flagged for whether it needs computers - most do. If your course is not flagged to have computer use and you do not pay the IT Fee then you may still opt-in by visiting your registrar office and paying an IT Fee to get one.

The current IT fee:

Full-time students pay $50.00 per term. Part-time program registrants pay $0.50 per course hour to a maximum of $50.00 per term. Continuing Education students pay $35.00 per term when registered in courses requiring IT access.

Duration: One Semester

What you get:

NOTE: The Information Technology Fee is prorated for Apprenticeship students based on the number of weeks in the academic level.
