Tuition Fees
An invoice is issued every semester, approximately 2–3 weeks before classes start. It will be available directly on your MonÉTS portal. You’ll need to pay it on time to avoid financial penalties. Tuition fees are charged based on the number of credits you’re enrolled in. Therefore, no invoice is issued until you have completed your course registration.
To register for courses, you must have paid the balance of your past semesters and at least 50% of the tuition fees for the previous semester. Don’t forget that your diploma will not be issued until your tuition fees have been paid in full.
Important dates
The annual calendar is always available.
You will find all information regarding beginning and ending dates of the semester, deadline for paiements, modification period, and much more.

Frequently asked questions
Your invoice will be created within two to three weeks before the beginning of your session. You can find it in the « Mes documents » section of the MonETS portal, under « Relevé d'inscription-facture ».
You must respect the established deadlines for paying tuition fees for each session for which you are registered. If the minimum amount required on your registration statement/invoice corresponds to the total amount, you must pay it on the first payment date.
You must pay the minimum payment required (paiement minimum requis) as indicated on your registration statement/invoice. This statement includes tuition fees plus all other related fees, along with the balance due for previous sessions, if applicable. The balance remaining on your invoice must be paid before the deadline for the second payment. Financial penalties apply to non-payment of tuition fees by the deadlines.
If you are unable to pay the minimum balance due by the payment deadline, a financial penalty of $30 will be added following each session. Therefore there is the possibility of two financial penalties of $30 for each session. In addition, anyone who has not paid 50% or more of the session tuition fees after the second payment deadline will not have access to the registration system for the subsequent session. Access to official documents will also be blocked (transcript, attestation or registration statement, diploma).
Your registration statement/invoice (relevé d'inscription-facture) is linked to the number of credits for which you are registered. You must pay the minimum payment required as indicated on your invoice before the first payment deadline. The registration statement/invoice is issued two to three weeks before the beginning of classes and is available on the MonETS portal.
If you have not paid the amount due on the due date, an account statement (état de compte) is issued by the finance department (Service des finances) and will be emailed to you. It is your responsibility to consult this statement and pay the balance (remaining amount) immediately.
The receipt is a summary document available on the MonÉTS portal which can be used once the invoice has been paid.
No, the account statement is a reminder that your payment is late. You must pay your balance by the dates indicated on your account statement in order to avoid financial penalties.
If you have cancelled courses or modified your file (changed the number of credits, insurance, etc.) during the course change with refund period, it may take a few days before the amount payable is adjusted. No action is required on your part.
General fees are administrative fees that are invoiced as soon as any courses are registered on your file. These fees are non-refundable unless all of the courses have been cancelled by ÉTS or in the case of postponement of a session.
If you have followed the proper procedure on the ASEQ website (in French) for withdrawing from coverage, there is nothing more for you to do. Your invoice will be adjusted within a few weeks after the period for withdrawal from ASEQ insurance coverage. You can simply subtract these fees from the payment of your invoice for tuition fees.
After completing your courses and paying for all course and research credits, a fixed amount is invoiced for each subsequent session by which your studies are extended or during which you are writing or defending your thesis or dissertation. For example, this fee is $222 (CAN) per session for the 2022-2023 academic year.
There are two options available to you:
- You can leave the amount in your student account, and a credit will be automatically applied to your tuition fees for the next session.
- You can also request reimbursement by filling out the Info-ÉTS form. Be sure to indicate your mailing address and your permanent code.
For a refund by direct deposit, please attach a specimen check or your bank details to the refund request. In the absence of this information a check will be mailed to you within the subsequent 4 to 8 weeks. If the initial payment was made by international transfer, the reimbursement will be sent to the same bank account from which the initial payment was made.
Tuition fees at ÉTS are invoiced per session, based on the number of credits for which the student is registered. Therefore, it is not possible to issue an annual invoice or to pay tuition fees in advance. However, you can send a bank transfer to ÉTS for the estimated amount of tuition fees for the year.
- The cost of studies for a full year (three sessions) is indicated for each cycle on the Cost of Studies page. Please note that these fees are subject to change every year.
- The procedure for paying by bank transfer is indicated under How to make payments. Allow for a delay of approximately two weeks before the transfer is received.
- You can then generate a receipt for your transaction in your MonÉTS portal, under “My documents”.
- The transferred amount will be credited against the payment of tuition fees for subsequent sessions. This amount cannot be refunded once you arrive in Canada. However, if your study project changes, please fill out the Info-ÉTS form to request reimbursement of the amount, which will be automatically returned to the issuing account.
The letter of admission that is available on the MonÉTS portal is the only official document produced by ÉTS in connection with your immigration procedures. Tuition fees are not indicated in this letter, but detailed information can be found on the page entitled Studying Engineering at ÉTS: How much does it cost? You can refer immigration authorities to this page by including the link in a letter of explanation.
