NSCC international application fee

At NSCC, the non-refundable CAD 100 international application payment covers up to two ranked program/campus choices in one active application. The later CAD 5,000 deposit confirms a seat and counts toward tuition.

Choose both options before submitting

NSCC's application form allows one active application with up to two program/campus combinations, assessed in preference order. Changing either choice requires a new application and fee. The new application cancels the previous one, so carry forward any choice you still want to keep.

Check the program's fee category

The standard international application payment is CAD 100 and is non-refundable. The fee page names Achieve and the Adult Learning Program as exceptions; the application form also lists EAP at zero. Those labels do not establish that you qualify for an exception. Check the admission requirements for your program.

The deposit confirms the seat

Once admitted, an international applicant must pay a CAD 5,000 tuition deposit to confirm the place. NSCC says it counts toward tuition, is non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another academic year. Keep the intended study year in view when accepting the offer.
