Tuition Costs How does the College decide what to charge for its Continuing Education courses? With the exception of courses that begin with the codes VOC and GIC, all courses fall under the funding guidelines of the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities (MTCU) and are costed at the rate of $5.19/contact hour. Additional Board of Governors-approved fees include a Student Activity Fee of $0.21/contact hour, a Student Centre Maintenance Fund of $0.40/contact hour, a Student Support Fee of $0.16/contact hour, and a Technology Fee of $0.17/contact hour. An Administration Fee is also charged for each course. This fee varies according to the type of course in which you are enrolled.
Courses with codes that begin with VOC and GIC are not eligible for funding from MTCU. The registration fee must cover all costs associated with offering these courses. Since courses have different costs, fees are determined on an individual course basis and often vary from one course to another. Ontario Special Bursary Students enrolling in Ministry-approved College credit or non-credit courses have access to financial assistance through the Ontario Special Bursary Program (course codes beginning with GIC excluded). These bursaries are non-repayable grants that may include assistance for tuition, books, travel, and child care, and are awarded based on financial need. A maximum of $2500 per academic year is available.

Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) OSAP loans are available to students who are in a course of study that carries at least 60% of a full credit load. These loans are based on financial need and used to subsidize tuition, books, and living allowance.

Audit Status Audit status, which applies when students register for credit courses but do not receive credits and/or marks, must be specified at the time of registration. All prerequisites are applicable to audited courses. Students are limited to a maximum of two audit subjects per academic year. Permission to register for audit status must be obtained from the appropriate program coordinator and, where applicable, the faculty advisor.

Plagiarism Canadore College’s Academic Policies (under Cheating and Plagiarism, B-25) defines plagiarism as “a form of cheating in that you are using someone else’s words, ideas, opinions, or facts, and passing them off as your own.” When you copy another student’s assignment, take it from the Internet, or have someone else write an assignment for you, you are cheating. If your professor suspects that the assignment you have handed in is not substantially your own, s/he may ask you to reproduce the assignment or parts of it in the Testing Centre. If you are unwilling or unable to write on the same topic and in a similar style, it will be assumed that you have cheated. The following penalties can be imposed: | If you cheat or allow another student to copy your assignment/project/test/exam, you will receive a zero for that assignment, i.e., no credit and no opportunity to repeat the assignment/project/test/ exam in question. | | | | Plagiarism may also result in an “R” grade for the course. | | | | “R” grade or involuntary withdrawal for program semester may be assigned; reentry to the program is possible. | | | | Dismissal from the college with provisions to reapply. | | | | Dismissal from the college with no provisions for reacceptance. | | | Campus Safety At Canadore College, the safety and security of our students and staff is a prime concern.
