Tuition includes program instruction and standard learning materials. Fees cover student services, union membership, and additional costs such as lab supplies, assessment fees, and transcripts. All fees are subject to change without notice and vary by program length and delivery method.
Most programs require a non‑refundable $35.70 application fee (for domestic students) payable when you apply. Payment must be made before your application is processed.
Tuition is due by the published payment deadline each term. Deadlines are available on your myVCC account and on the Important Dates page. Late payment may result in de‑registration or withheld grades.
Refunds depend on when your written withdrawal request is received. Requests before the first day of class may receive a full refund (minus deposits and fees). Withdrawals within five business days may be eligible for a 50% refund. No refunds are issued after that date.
All full‑time and part‑time students are automatically members of the Students’ Union of Vancouver Community College (SUVCC). These fees support student services, advocacy, and events. The fee amount varies based on the number of course hours you’re registered in. SUVCC fees are charged each term as part of your total tuition payment.
SUVCC represents students on campus and at the provincial and national level. It provides advocacy, campaigns, student discounts, events, and resources such as health and dental plans, housing help, and transit support. Visit suvcc.ca for more information.
The T2202 Tuition and Enrolment Certificate allows eligible students to claim education‑related tax credits on their income tax return. Forms are issued by end of February each year and can be downloaded from your myVCC account. Only tuition fees over $100 for qualifying courses are eligible.
Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and some international students enrolled in eligible credit programs will receive a T2202. Short courses, non‑credit programs, or corporate training typically do not qualify.
Log in to myVCC, go to Student Records → Tax Forms (T2202), and download the file. If you no longer have access to myVCC, contact the Registrar’s Office for assistance.
If your cheque or payment is returned for insufficient funds, a $25 service fee will be added to your account. Returned payments must be replaced immediately with certified funds (debit, money order, or certified cheque). Repeat offences may lead to loss of cheque payment privileges.
Students with outstanding debts are not permitted to attend classes, register for new terms, or access grades and transcripts. Your account must be paid in full to restore privileges.
To be reinstated, contact your Dean or Associate Dean for approval and pay your outstanding balance plus the applicable reinstatement fee.
Accounts not cleared by term end may be referred to a collection agency. You’ll remain responsible for the debt and may incur additional recovery costs. Unpaid accounts can affect your credit score and block future registration.
