Tuition – MDiv

Tuition fees are for annual costs based on full time enrollment. In Years 1 and 2 of the M. Div. program, students pay tuition directly to Presbyterian College and McGill fees directly to McGill. In Year 3, the In-Ministry Year, students pay all fees and tuition directly to Presbyterian College.

Quebec and Non-Quebec Canadian Students

M. Div. Year 1 and 2

* Quebec students in this program will note that M.Div. 1 and 2 entail enrolment in courses of the B.Th. program. Yet tuition fees in M.Div. 1 and 2 are higher than in the B.Th. This is due to higher program costs for the M.Div. degree, payment of which is pro-rated across the three years of the program. The difference in posted tuition fees for Quebec students (between the B.Th. and the M.Div.) represents the additional program costs of the M.Div. program.

**Presbyterian College Student Fees include administrative fees, college retreat, lunch program, technological services, and library fees. Students taking fewer than 9 credits per term pay 50% of the Presbyterian College fees.

***McGill fees are set by McGill and are paid directly to McGill. McGill fees are approximate.

***Please note that McGill fees include a charge for health and dental. Canadian students from other provinces must check to see if their medical insurance will cover them in the province of Quebec.

Fee Refunds and Withdrawals

With respect to students enrolled in M.Div. I and M.Div. II, the withdrawal and refund policy of The Presbyterian College will follow the withdrawal and refund policy of McGill University, found here.

With respect to students enrolled in M.Div. III, the Diploma in Ministry, or the Certificate in Theology, and registered for courses as of September 1^st (Fall Term) or January 1^st (Winter Term) the withdrawal and refund policy of each college is as follows. Up to and including September 25^th (Fall Term) and January 31^st (Winter Term), students may withdraw from The Presbyterian College with a full refund (less a registration cancellation fee of $200) and with no record of withdrawal on their transcript.

After September 25^th (Fall Term) and January 31^st (Winter Term) there is no refund of tuition or fees. In the case of withdrawal from the college or from a specific course after these dates, a grade of “W” will be entered for the course on the student’s transcript.

Students who stop attending classes without indicating (to the college) their intention to withdraw from courses will be liable for all tuition and other fees.

International students should be aware that withdrawal from one or more courses may affect their immigration status within Canada. Both international and Canadian students should also be aware that withdrawal may affect their eligibility for scholarships or bursaries. Students should carefully attend to all such matters when taking decisions about withdrawal from courses.

Any student request to withdraw after the dates indicated above, for special reasons, must be submitted in writing to the Faculty of the college.

Overdue Accounts

Presbyterian College seeks to help every student graduate successfully. If students are encountering financial difficulties, they must indicate so to either the Chaplain or the Director of Pastoral Studies. The College will work with students to find a payment plan that can work for them. Students who do not have an agreed upon payment plan with the College and who do not indicate financial difficulty will not be able to register for the next semester until such a plan is devised and accepted or the tuition has been paid in full.
