Tuition and Fees

Tuition

Tuition for domestic students (Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents) is $1,498.00 per course (subject to change. Tuition is assessed each semester, by course.

Note: Tuition for GCES domestic students is set at $1,506.54 per course for 2024-25. However, to maintain tuition rates across all Professional Learning programs, the Faculty of Education will provide a bursary in the amount of $8.54 per course. The bursary will be applied after the add/drop deadline and prior to the fee payment deadline. All tuition fees and bursary amounts are subject to change.

Coupons for Tuition Credit

We are pleased to provide U of A Mentor Teachers and School Coordinators with a coupon for tuition credit which can be applied to most graduate-level courses in the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta. The coupon is the equivalent of one credit of tuition. For example, a coupon would cover 1/3 of the tuition cost for a three-credit course.  Restrictions apply - see this page for details.

Additional Costs

  • Non-instructional fees are assessed by the university
    Note: students can opt out of the Students' Union Health and Dental plans.
  • Texts (these costs are not prohibitive as most texts are available in digital format, are available to borrow from the University of Alberta library system; some may be used for more than one course)

Payment Deadlines and Instructions

Fees must be paid by the specific deadline for your starting semester. Please review this page for complete information and dates.

Scholarships

Because the GCES is a part-time, course-based program, students do not qualify for University of Alberta scholarships.
