FAQs

How Much Is Tuition?

Tuition varies depending on what program you’re interested in. In May of each year, tuition rates are determined provincially by the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities, after which time we can pass the most current information along to you in your confirmation package. Typically tuition fees are due by the last week of June to prepare for your program’s staffing and course requirements.

For tuition, ancillary fee and book supply information for your specific program, please visit your program of interest and under “program overview” click on “Program Fact Sheet”.

If you are already a student at Sault College, simply visit your portal and click on fees owing.

What Is An Offer Of Admission?

The earliest date that colleges in Ontario send out their offers of admission is February 1.

At Sault College, all qualified applicants will receive offers of admission starting February 1.

For applicants in highly competitive programs, offers of admission may be sent out at a later date.

You may only accept one offer of admission.

What Is A Conditional Offer Of Admission?

If you are granted conditional acceptance, you will have to meet all outstanding admission requirements before your acceptance can be finalized.

This usually applies to students currently attending secondary school when applying, and the conditional admission decision is based on mid-term grades.

If you are a student with a conditional acceptance to a limited-enrolment program, you will need to keep your grades above the minimum required average in certain courses or programs to finalize the acceptance.

Note: Students with conditional offers still need to meet all confirmation or payment deadlines.
