5.3. Course Fees
 
     
5.3.1.

Canadian Residents of Alberta

This fee applies to Canadian permanent residents of Alberta, or permanent residents living abroad while they are working for a Canadian embassy, consulate, or the Canadian Forces. It does not apply to students studying in Alberta on a study authorization (see 5.3.4.).

Athabasca University offers a number of zero-credit courses (e.g., ENGL 140, ENGL 143). Zero-credit courses are assessed the same fee structure as three-credit courses. Other academic-related fees and regulations also apply to zero-credit courses.

To recognize Alberta's centennial, the Alberta Government is paying to Athabasca University (AU) a portion of AU's course registration fee for Alberta residents starting AU three-, four-, or six-credit undergraduate courses between September 1, 2005 and August 31, 2006 (the rebate does not apply to 0-credit courses). The course registration fee that appears beside the courses that qualify, has already been reduced to reflect this government initiative.

Non-Canadians Temporarily In Canada

Before a non-Canadian student who is living in Canada may be admitted or registered in a course at Athabasca University, he or she must possess and present a valid study authorization confirming permission to study in Canada.

The Government of Alberta requires that non-Canadians living in Canada and studying on a study authorization, to pay tuition fees that are double those paid by Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Admission and evaluation fees are in addition to these fees. Other fees, e.g., Students' Union and Alumni Relations fees (where applicable), the learning resources fee, are included in the following fees.
