Institutional fees

All students at HEC Montréal are represented by a student association :

• Certificate program students are represented by the AEPC;
• BBA and preparatory year students are represented by the AEHEC;
• Graduate students (enrolled in short diploma (DESS), MSc, and PhD programs) are represented by the AECS;
• MBA students are represented by the AEMBA.

HEC Montréal students contribute to their associations through their fees. The amount of these contributions is determined by each student association at its annual general meeting.

Civil liability insurance premiums paid by student associations for their activities. Student Services negotiates this insurance for all student organizations and pays the premium from the special contribution charged to all enrolled students.

Voluntary student donation to the Leadership Fund, to finance professional and academic student projects and activities. The donation is eligible for a tax deduction and will appear on your tax receipts for tuition fees (T2202A and Relevé 8).
