Tuition
Tuition is calculated separately from student fees. For eligible Quebec residents in the Farm Management and Technology Program there is no amount charged for tuition, thanks to support from the Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec (MAPAQ). Out-of-province and international FMT students registered for full-time studies pay a tuition fee of $1,563 per semester (two semesters per academic year, total $3,126 per year) in addition to student fees. Students considered to be studying part-time (less than 8 credits/semester) will be charged half that amount ($781.50 per semester). All fees are subject to change without notice. For the current tuition, please use the Undergraduate Tuition Calculator (choose Farm Management and Technology).
Student Fees
Student services and student societies' fees, as well as course material fees will be charged according to the schedule in effect for all Macdonald Campus students. For the 2023-2024 school year, the fees are approximately $2,182 per year for first year students (paid in two installments, half the fees in each semester). All FMT students pay these fees, regardless of legal status (Quebec, out-of-province, international). Fees are subject to change without notice. For the most up-to-date breakdown of charges, please use the Undergraduate Tuition Calculator (choose Farm Management and Technology).
Student Fees include a health and dental insurance of $262.97 (Students with alternate coverage can opt-out), it also includes the cost of a CPR and First Aid course (mandatory for 1st year students only). International students have additional international health and dental insurance added to their student fees.
Textbooks and Supplies
The cost of textbooks and supplies is estimated at $100 per semester.
