Tuition and Fees
Domestic Tuition
Tuition for each course in the Graduate Certificate in Educational Studies (GCES) is $1400.00. Tuition is assessed each semester, by course.
International Tuition
Tuition for GCES international students is higher than domestic students. For information on how tuition is calculated, please review FGSR's Tuition Framework for International Students. For more information, please contact pluinfo@ualberta.ca.
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)
- Accommodations: If you require paid accommodation, a number of options are available, including nearby hotels and Bed & Breakfasts. Should you wish to stay on campus--only steps away from your classes, there are two options:
- University of Alberta residences
- St. Joseph's College (please indicate that you are an GCES student)
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.
Student Scholarships
Because the GCES is a part-time, course-based program, students generally do not qualify for University of Alberta scholarships.
- However, many of our students qualify for funding through their local school division and/or the Alberta Teachers Association (once you've logged in check members>awards and scholarships).
- Métis students may be eligible for funding through the Belcourt Brosseau Métis Awards.
