1 3. Student Fees, Financial Aid, Awards 3.1 Tuition Costs Since Providence University College is a non-profit Christian institution, our program is supported primarily by tuition income from the students it serves. Tuition costs are kept at a reasonable level because of a dedicated faculty which provides nationally recognized excellence without primary regard for personal remuneration, an administrative staff which works continually to provide needed services with greater efficiency, and a supporting constituency which gives generously of its resources to undergird and promote the objectives of the University College. All programs of the University College are under continual review. Therefore, Providence University College reserves the right to change its financial policies without previous notice. 3.2 Fee Schedule * *Effective September 1, 2015, Canadian Funds.
