Application fees
- Preparatoria (Pre‑high school / Prepa) pre‑inscription fee: MXN 5,000. This amount is applied to the student account and is bonified at final registration.
Tuition fees by year group (availability and how amounts are produced)
- CETYS Tijuana does not publish a single, static fee table by program or year publicly. Semester tuition (colegiatura) is calculated per program and per student and is provided through the institution's tuition simulator and the campus finance/inscription process rather than as a universal public list. Exact semester and annual tuition amounts therefore vary by program (Preparatoria, Professional/Undergraduate, Posgrado) and by the payment option selected. Use of the tuition simulator or direct budget/quotation from the campus is required to obtain a program‑specific figure.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing cadence: CETYS charges on a semester (or trimester for some programs) basis; students complete an inscription/registration process for each academic period and receive a boleta (payment schedule).
- Payment options available at inscription:
- Single payment (payment in full) — a discount is applied automatically for one‑time full payment.
- Partiality plans — typical options include 3, 4 or 6 equal payments depending on program and registration dates; availability of a specific partial plan depends on the date of registration. Students choosing partial payments receive a digital pagaré (provided by FIRMAME) that must be signed to complete the process.
- Initial payment: The initial (upfront) amount due at registration depends on the selected payment plan; the system shows the required initial payment and subsequent due dates once a boleta is generated. Students have 48 hours to complete payment and sign the pagaré when paying in partialities.
- Insurance and mandatory charges: A student insurance component (covering tuition in certain contingencies and a medical/gastos médicos mayores option) is assessed on a semestral basis and appears on the boleta; students may present an external policy for recognition where permitted, in which case only the tuition‑insurance charge is required.
Boarding / on‑campus housing fees
- Boarding fees: not applicable. No on‑campus residential/boarding program or associated boarding fees are published for CETYS Campus Tijuana; the campus map and campus information do not list student residences as a feeed service.
Other costs and common additional charges
- Admission/exam charges:
- Preparatoria pre‑inscription (see above): MXN 5,000 (bonified at registration).
- Mandatory/regular additional items that are charged at inscription or per semester (when applicable and shown on the boleta):
- Student insurance (semestrel).
- Fees for specific academic services or programs (e.g., laboratory usage, professional practice, special program fees) are assessed per program and will appear in the program quotation/boleta.
- Participation in institutional fundraising ticket programs (Sorteos) may be charged/assigned according to campus procedures; ticket obligations are reflected in student financial records when applicable.
- Items typically borne by families but not published as standard institutional fees: textbooks, uniforms (where applicable for Preparatoria), transportation, field trips, voluntary extracurricular program fees and personal supplies. These itemized costs are not listed as universal institutional fee lines in publicly available campus materials and are handled at program or departmental level.
Refund information
- Cancellations and refunds for cancelled courses or activities: when a course or group is cancelled, the campus offers options such as applying the paid amount as a credit toward future colegiaturas, applying the credit to the next registration, or requesting a refund. Refund requests are handled by the campus finance office through the published campus payment contacts.
- Exchange, mobility and program‑specific refunds: for mobility programs and external partner programs, refund rules of the host program/university apply; students must consult program documentation for refund rules in those cases.
Fee payment methods and invoicing
- Accepted payment channels and methods at inscription and for tuition collections:
- Online payment through the Mi Campus portal (payment in line via card) or the CETYS App (Payment module).
- Bank deposit/printed payment slip to Banamex or Santander (deposit at branch) when that option is selected on the boleta.
- Debit and credit cards are accepted for online payments; note that American Express transactions must be processed through Santander. Only one card may be used per transaction in the online flow.
- Bank transfer / other remote bank payment methods: the campus finance office provides transfer instructions and processes for cases that require them; students should coordinate with the campus Finance & Student Accounts office.
- Receipts and invoicing: invoices and payment receipts are issued by campus Finance upon request; the boleta is the official payment schedule and the campus sends confirmation emails when bank payments are processed. Facturation/contact emails are provided by campus finance.
Financing, scholarships and deferred payment programs
- CETYS offers internal financing (Crédito Educativo CETYS) and other credit options that can cover a portion of colegiatura and inscription charges; financing terms vary by level (Professional and Posgrado) and program. These financing programs are available campus‑by‑campus and may combine with institutional scholarships or sponsored funds.
Summary note on published numeric tuition amounts for 2026/27
- Precise semester or annual tuition amounts by program for the 2026/27 academic year are not published as a single public fee table; CETYS provides program‑ and student‑specific tuition amounts via the tuition simulator and during the registration/financial onboarding process. For Preparatoria, the pre‑inscription fee MXN 5,000 is published and bonified at inscription. For all other numeric tuition lines, the campus generates a boleta/quotation showing the inscription amount, insurance charge, and the payment schedule for the selected payment plan.
If any numeric, program‑specific semester or annual tuition figures are required for an external database, those figures must be obtained from the CETYS tuition simulator output or the campus Finance office quote for the exact program and cohort.
