Program costs

The basics

Your cost to attend Douglas College will vary, depending on:

• Year of study - first- and second-year classes cost less than third- and fourth-year classes.
• Program costs - some programs require additional costs for equipment, supplies, lab time, etc.
• Number of classes - each class is worth a certain number of credits. And tuition is calculated on a per-credit basis, so the more classes you take, the higher the cost of your tuition.

Besides tuition and program costs, all students are required to pay certain other required Student Fees.

The best way to get an approximate idea of how much you'll pay to attend Douglas is to check the Program Costs Calculator.*

*Remember - this calculation includes all payments you make to Douglas, but does not cover outside costs like food, transportation or housing.

Tuition fees

First- and second-year courses (and 3^rd and 4^th year non-degree courses) cost $90.40* per credit.

Third- and fourth- year degree courses cost $108.20* per credit.

You can find out how many credits any course is worth in the Douglas College Calendar. Just click on the Courses section for the program you are interested in.

A detailed, up-to-date fee schedule is included in the Registration Guide, which is available each semester.

*These numbers apply to domestic students only. For international student fees, see the Douglas College Calendar.

Other student fees

• Students' Union fee which ranges from $20-60 (according to the total number of credits taken per semester)
• Other Student Activity fee of $43 (Other Press fee, Alumni fee, Athletic fee, and Performing Arts fee)
• General Registration and Service fee of $31.00
• Medical/Dental Plan fee of $260 (only assessed for the Fall semester for students registered for 9.0 or more credits). Students may opt out of this plan with proof of other coverage.
• U-Pass BC fee of $30 per month.

The College Calendar has details on late payment fees and other fees that may arise before and during the semester.

Fee payment deadlines

It is important to make sure you pay tuition and fees in full before the deadline to avoid late fees and de-registration from courses and waitlists. You can find information on how and when to pay your fees in the Registration Guide, which is available each semester.
