Institute fees
Through the Institute, students do paid, full-time internships that help offset the cost of their education, often allowing them to graduate with little or no debt.
Besides financial benefits, co-op students gain valuable work experience, build professional networks, and gain an advantage in the job market, making the program a excellent investment.
Students enrolled at the Institute pay the total fee for their program, as listed below. They pay either:
- in 1/8th installments (typically over 8 terms) for the Undergraduate Co-op,
- or in 1/4th installments (typically over 4 terms) for all other Institute offerings.
Typically, students are charged either one installment of $222.48 per term, or two installments of $222.48 per term, depending on the number of terms up until the final work term. Students will not be charged installments after their final internship term.
The Institute fee is in addition to regular tuition and helps to partially cover the services, resources, and training provided to students as Institute members.
