Defer fees or get a payment plan 

Need more time to pay your tuition? Fee deferrals allow you to delay your tuition due date to the middle of the first month of the current semester. This gives you the flexibility to manage your finances more effectively.   

Loans 

Student loans have helped many students attend post-secondary schooling. Offered through StudentAid BC, loans can be accessed part-time or full-time depending on coarse load. 

Grants & Aid 

Grants are financial aid awards that do not require repayment. StudentAid BC provides grants to students with disabilities and those studying in high-demand fields. Additionally, there's a loan forgiveness program for students in eligible programs who commit to working in rural and remote areas of B.C. 

Funding Options

Indigenous Students 

As an Indigenous student at the College of New Caledonia, you have access to several avenues of support through the Aboriginal Resource Centre, and through your CNC student services. 

International Students 

If you can’t pay your tuition fees upfront, CNC offers payment plans to help you pay in smaller installments. 

Students with Disabilities 

CNC students with one or more verifiable disabilities are eligible for accessibility services. Additionally, StudentAid B.C. offers grants specifically designed to support students with disabilities.
