AHT Distance Student Fees And Expenses

There are a total of eleven credits per semester in the TRU AHTDE program. There is no charge for the courses entitled "Veterinary Clinical Studies 1 - 9. These courses are five credits each. For the other two courses in each semester there is a fee of $250 per credit and each of these are three credit courses. The fee therefore per semester is $1,500 if you are taking both three credit courses.

Additional and Ancillary Fees incurred by on campus AHT students do not apply to AHTDE students (Student Society Fees etc.)

Texts and supplies will average approximately $250 per course. (This is an estimate only - prices may change without notice). The student is required to purchase a video camera (as video taped assignments are required throughout the 3 years of the program). As all videos need to be submitted in a consistent format, you are required to purchase a camera that will accommodate this. Please contact the program Coordinator for specifics.

All expenses incurred by the student during the duration of this program are the responsibility of the student. This includes all work place expenses, travel to clinical instructional sites, computer and internet costs, invigilation costs, videotaping costs, mailing and phone charges, etc.

This program qualifies for Canadian Student Loans. Please contact the TRU Financial Aid and Awards office.
