Build a dated program budget before relying on aid

Terrace, British Columbia

CMTN program records separate domestic and international charges; entrance awards have distinct citizenship, study-load, deadline and release conditions.

Use the program table

CMTN directs students to the chosen program for tuition and fee amounts. The Environmental Geosciences example is effective August 1, 2026 for 2026–27 and separates tuition, mandatory, lab, union, insurance, books and field-school estimates.

Verify before payment

Before paying a non-refundable tuition deposit, the college tells students to ensure they are registered in the preferred courses or program. Payment methods and timing do not replace confirmation of the exact course selection and current student-account balance.

Read domestic eligibility

The retained entrance-award page separates domestic and international routes. Its $2,500 Foundation awards require eligible regional high-school completion, Canadian citizenship, B.C. residence, admission to an eligible 2026–27 certificate or diploma, and full-time enrolment at release.

Track international conditions

The page lists $5,000 international entrance awards for three new international students and a Fall 2026 deadline of August 27. Government-funded students are excluded, selection alone does not guarantee payment, and later enrolment and course-completion conditions apply.

Decision checklist

  • Use fees effective for the study year.
  • Include compulsory and estimated program costs separately.
  • Check award eligibility and release conditions before budgeting funds.
