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

• Certificate program students are represented by the AEPC (in French only);
• BBA and preparatory year students are represented by the AEHEC (in French only);
• 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.

HEC Montréal Foundation and the School invite the student community to take part in a collective effort of generosity. Each term, a donation from you is automatically added to your tuition fee invoice. This donation helps support the funding of student activities through the Leadership Fund, while also addressing the School’s needs and priorities via the Fonds des bâtisseurs. Each donation is eligible for a tax credit and will appear on the tuition tax receipts (Form T2202A and Relevé 8).

You may decline to make the donation listed on your tuition fee invoice by completing the appropriate form (to access the form, you must authenticate yourself or be logged in to HEC en ligne). The opt-out must be completed before you pay your tuition fee invoice and no later than the tuition fee payment deadline for the relevant term. Full payment of the fees listed on your invoice constitutes your agreement to make a donation. No opt-out, refund, or credit will be possible thereafter.

HEC Montréal students have access to online learning materials, including case studies, excerpts from books, and articles published in scientific journals. The authors of these materials are compensated under an agreement with the copyright management organization COPIBEC. The fees also go toward procuring licences for the use of cases, and for subscription to the online version of the Harvard Business Review.

These fees are covering the personalized structure provided to meet the needs of certain clienteles, measures taken as part of the plagiarism prevention campaign, promotions concerning our students’ and the School’s ranking in various competitions and recognition events, support activities for students in different programs, and part of the costs for graduation ceremonies.

The Sustainable Development Project Fund  finances sustainable development projects relevant to student issues and concerns. This new fund was created in February 2018 by the HEC Montréal Student Association Presidents Standing Committee. The School administration has pledged to match each year the student contribution to the fund.

Fees billed to all students, to cover the cost of forms, official documents, information bulletins and documentation.

The School has acquired excellent technological infrastructure. Students contribute in part through technology fees to ensure the robustness and continuous improvement of this infrastructure.

All students in the School are entitled to an online discounted subscription of Gestion (in French only), an HEC Montréal-affiliated magazine that publishes quality articles on current topics in management. Students may request withdrawal of this subscription.

Student Services fees help improve the quality of services provided by the Career Management Services and Student Services, and they are in addition to the grant which is funded by the Government of Quebec. These fees also allow all HEC Montréal students to have access to CEPSUM.
