Introduction

Located in Santa Catarina, Nuevo León, Tecnológico de Monterrey – Campus Santa Catarina sits at Av. Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto 290, in the western part of the city. The campus delivers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP), aligning its secondary education with a globally recognized framework that emphasizes inquiry, intercultural understanding, and rigorous assessment. PrepaTec Santa Catarina opened in 1996 as the third PrepaTec campus to launch in Monterrey, reflecting Tecnológico de Monterrey's commitment to preparing students for university study and responsible citizenship. The campus is framed by the Sierra Madre and the Huasteca, situating it in a natural setting conducive to study and outdoor exploration. The founding emphasis on the people involved—students, teachers, and staff—highlights a community-centered approach to education, where collaboration and personal development are valued as core outcomes of the PrepaTec experience. The address and program specifics underline a pathway from local roots to international education opportunities.

Fees
Application fees
- Reserva de lugar (pago para confirmar plaza en PrepaTec): MXN 7,000. This amount is applied to first‑semester tuition at enrollment.
- Cuota de trámite para solicitud de Beca Socioeconómica (cuando corresponda): MXN 750.

Tuition fees by year group (per term and per academic year)
- Billing unit and structure: Tuition is billed per semester. The institution publishes tuition by program modality and campus using a tuition simulator rather than a single public flat table; semester amounts therefore vary by program (for example: Bicultural, Multicultural, International/IB) and by campus. To obtain the exact per‑semester and per‑year amounts for PrepaTec — Campus Santa Catarina you must consult the Tec de Monterrey PrepaTec tuition simulator or the campus admissions office. The standard accounting unit for budgeting is the semester; multiply the semester amount by two to obtain a full academic year.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing frequency: Tuition is charged per semester. Payment schedules for a semester typically allow either a single up‑front payment (pago de contado) or authorized installment arrangements communicated at enrollment; specific installment plans, due dates and late‑payment charges are provided with the semester invoice or in the admission/payment portal.
- Reservation application timing and effect: The Reserva de lugar is paid at acceptance to secure the place and is applied to first‑semester tuition. If the Reserva de lugar is paid within the 15 days prior to the start of classes, the refund window is shorter (see refund rules below).

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding/residency: PrepaTec programs are organized as day‑school preparatory programs; there are no published boarding or residence fees for PrepaTec campuses. Therefore, no boarding fee line item applies for PrepaTec — Campus Santa Catarina.

Other costs and optional or mandatory additional fees
- Student medical insurance (SGMM): A major medical insurance policy is a required condition for enrollment; the school offers an insurance option at enrollment and accepts equivalent external policies that meet the required coverage specifications. The cost of the Tec‑offered SGMM is invoiced as part of the enrollment/semester process when selected or otherwise must be demonstrated with equivalent policy documentation.
- Textbooks, learning materials and extracurricular activities: Textbooks, materials, optional extracurricular programs, field trips, certification and exam fees (AP, IB subject fees, language certificates) and some program‑specific items are charged separately and are not included in the semester tuition. Purchase of uniforms or campus clothing and any campus store charges are additional and handled through campus channels or authorized vendors. Expect these to appear as separate charges or to be billed/purchased at the campus vendor.
- Financial‑planning products: The institution offers an Inversión Educativa / Plan de Inversión Educativa that allows purchase of tuition certificates in advance; these are optional and priced separately.

Refund information
- Reserva de lugar refunds: The Reserva de lugar may be requested for refund within 15 days after payment. If the Reserva de lugar is paid within the 15 days prior to the start of classes, the refund request must be made no later than one business day before classes begin. Portions identified as non‑refundable (for example, certain coverage components) are retained according to the institute's policy.
- General semester refund practice: Refunds and retentions vary by charge concept; certain administrative or coverage components may be non‑refundable. Refunds for card payments are processed back to the same card when applicable, and refunds for bank deposit payments are made by bank transfer following the institution's refund procedures. Exact refund amounts and timing depend on the concept and date of request relative to the academic calendar.

Fee payment options
- Accepted channels for admission and tuition payments include: online payment with debit/credit card via the institution's payment portal, printing a bank deposit slip and paying at a bank branch (ventanilla), and electronic bank transfers. Specific channels and instructions are provided in the admission/payment portal and on the semester invoice.
- Additional financial supports: The Tec offers financing options and supports (Préstamo Educativo Tec) and a variety of scholarship and financial‑aid programs for PrepaTec that affect net tuition payable; eligibility and application rules are set in the PrepaTec scholarships and financial supports pages.

Summary note about campus‑specific semester amounts (important for database entry)
- The institution does not publish a single fixed public table of per‑semester tuition amounts by campus/program in static webpage text; instead it provides a Simulador de Colegiaturas that returns campus‑ and program‑specific semester amounts (the standard billing unit). For accurate, up‑to‑date per‑semester and per‑academic‑year numeric values for PrepaTec — Campus Santa Catarina for the 2026/27 academic year (or 2025/26 if 2026/27 is not yet published) you will need the simulator output or the campus admissions billing statement. The institutional pages linked above explain the reservation amounts, refund windows, required insurance and the billing unit (semester).
