Application Fees
To reduce a potential barrier for applicants to the ITEP Community-Based program, the Faculty of Education will offer payment vouchers to cover the base OUAC/TEAS application fee (maximum $159) and the Queen’s supplemental fee (maximum $80).
*Applicants are encouraged to apply to any Teacher Education program. However, if an applicant to the Q11, Q13, Q14, or Q16 ITEP Community-Based (P/J) program is applying to other programs/choices through OUAC/TEAS, the commitment of Queen’s Faculty of Education to subsidize the application fees will only extend to the Q11, Q13, Q14, or Q16 programs. If an applicant applies to more than the Q11, Q13, Q14, or Q16 programs, it is the responsibility of the applicant to pay all OUAC/TEAS upfront. Queen’s will reimburse applicants for the Q11, Q13, Q14, or Q16 portion of application fees. Questions should be addressed to educstudentservices@queensu.ca.
