Fees
Application fees

- A fee is charged to start the admissions process (cuota del proceso de admisión). Payment methods accepted for the admissions fee include credit/debit card, PayPal and bank deposit (ficha de pago). The admissions-process payment is non‑refundable.

Reservation of place (Reserva de Lugar)

- A Reserva de Lugar (anticipo aplicado a la colegiatura del primer periodo) is required to secure an offered place. The standard Reserva de Lugar amount is MXN 9,000; for some programs with limited seats or special selection the Reserva de Lugar amount is MXN 18,000. Part of this payment corresponds to a mandatory coverage called Cobertura Pago de Colegiatura. Refund rules for the Reserva de Lugar are time‑limited (see Refund information).

Tuition fees by year group and per term

- Tuition for PrepaTec at each campus is charged by academic period; the standard cadence for academic billing is semesterly. Exact tuition amounts are set per campus and per program and therefore vary by campus (Querétaro) and by the specific PrepaTec program or track. Tuition is presented as a semester fee and may also be shown as an annual total (two semesters) depending on the billing option chosen. The institution provides an interactive tuition estimator to calculate the program‑ and campus‑specific semester and annual amounts.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition is billed on a semester basis with published payment deadlines for each semester. The Reserva de Lugar is credited toward the first semester. Payment may be made in full (plan de contado) or under the campus's available payment plan options when offered; specific due dates and plan details are set for each academic term and campus.

Boarding fees (Residencias)

- Campus Querétaro operates Residencias Tec for students (including Preparatoria). Residence fees are charged by semester; residence availability and per‑semester rates are campus‑specific. The residence cancellation policy applies a graduated percentage charge depending on the date of cancellation (examples show a 0% to 100% scale depending on how close to the semester the cancellation is submitted). Reservation and cancellation deadlines for residences are established each semester.

Other costs and mandatory extras

- In addition to tuition and, where applicable, residence fees, families should plan for common additional charges that typically include: uniform(s), course materials and textbooks, laboratory or workshop fees for specific subjects, transportation or campus shuttle services, optional extracurricular or competition fees, and insurance or mandatory coverage items (for example, the Cobertura Pago de Colegiatura included with the Reserva de Lugar). Exact categories and amounts vary by campus and program.

Refund information

- Refunds for the Reserva de Lugar: a request for refund of the Reserva de Lugar can be made within a defined short window after payment (for admitted students the refund window for the Reserva de Lugar is up to 15 calendar days following payment; if the reservation is paid within 15 days before the start of classes the refund may be requested up to one business day before classes begin). The Cobertura Pago de Colegiatura portion of the Reserva de Lugar is non‑refundable.

- General refund processing: refunds to credit/debit cards are made back to the same card when the original payment date is within 60 days; after 60 days refunds are processed by bank transfer. Payments made through cash collection points (ficha bancaria, OXXO) or by SPEI are refunded by bank transfer. Documentation and account details are required for bank refunds.

Fee payment options

- Accepted payment methods include: credit and debit card, PayPal, bank deposit using the referenced payment slip (ficha bancaria), cash collection channels where supported (for example OXXO), and bank transfer (SPEI). Specific campus billing offices also process bank transfers and handle administrative payment arrangements such as payment plans where available. Refunds follow the same payment‑channel rules (card refunds returned to the same card within 60 days; otherwise bank transfer).

Practical notes for parents

- The following items are standard and should be confirmed for Campus Querétaro at the time of application or admission: precise per‑semester tuition for the selected PrepaTec track, whether a campus payment plan is available for the semester, specific residence rates and reservation deadlines if housing is required, and the exact scope and cost of any mandatory insurance or coverage included with the Reserva de Lugar. The institutional admissions and residencias processes publish the applicable deadlines and the exact numeric amounts for tuition and residence fees for each semester and program.
