    Collection of the $525 co-op fee will occur in the term prior to the actual co-op work term. Students must withdraw within the first 10 days of the term immediately preceding the work term in order to receive a refund. See Cooperative Education website for more information.


    Mobile Computing Fee

    Mobile computing programs require the use of a laptop as a mandatory component of curriculum during academic terms. New students in mobile computing programs have the option of bringing a laptop of their choice that will meet the program’s requirements.

    In addition to the IT fee payable by all students ($105), students in mobile computing programs will be charged the mobile technology services fee of $125 per academic term. For more information regarding services and fees please refer to the mobile computing website at: mobilecomputing.sheridaninstitute.ca.

    The mobile technology services fee covers the costs associated with enriched curriculum, laptop computing resources, relevant software licenses, on-site service and support, and other program-related technology.


    SSUI Health and Dental Plan

    The Sheridan SU Health and Dental Plan is a valuable service provided by your Student Union to fill the gaps left by provincial health care. The Plan fee is $180.00 for full-year coverage (September 1, 2010 – August 31, 2011).

    If you are already covered by an extended health and dental plan, you can opt out of the Sheridan SU Health and Dental plan by providing proof of other equivalent health and dental coverage. Opt outs can ONLY be processed within the Change-of-Coverage period. Visit www.ihaveaplan.ca or call 1-866-358-4430 for details.


    Split Fee Charge

    Students in attendance for two or more consecutive academic terms who are unable to pay FULL fees by the due date, have the option to split their fee payment. This allows the student to defer payment of second and third academic term fees. Second and third term fees must be paid by the fee due date for those terms. Students who choose this option will be required to pay a $50 charge to be added to the first term payment.


    Late Payment Charge

    $100 charge for fees received after the fee invoice due date.

    Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)

    Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition is a process which evaluates experiential learning. An $95.70 fee is charged for each subject for which PLAR credit is being sought.


    Additional Courses

    All full-time postsecondary students may take courses in the day or evening in addition to their regular curriculum at Sheridan. These courses may be taken in one of three circumstances:

    1. Students may take additional courses beyond their full course load, providing there is space available. All course fees will apply (i.e. tuition, administration and material fees).
    2. Students may replace courses for which they have been granted Advanced Standing or PLA credit with courses of equal credit value and within the same term, provided that space is available. In this instance, the tuition fee will be waived. All other course fees will apply.
    3. Under exceptional circumstances, students may be approved by their Associate Dean to substitute a course within the same term with a course of equal credit value, providing there is space available and they do not exceed their full course load. The tuition fee will be waived. All other course fees will apply. Students must obtain approval for proposed course replacements or substitutions from the Associate Dean responsible for their program of study. In the case of General Education courses being replaced or substituted, approval by the Cross-College General Education Coordinator is required. Some Continuing Education courses may be exempt from this policy.


    Parking

    Students planning to park a motor vehicle at any Sheridan campus will need to buy a parking permit or daily ticket. The September 2009 to August 2010 parking fees including GST and PST are as follows:

    • One month: $72
    • One term (i.e., September to January): $166
    • Two terms (i.e., September to May): $306
