Incidental Fees and Additional Fee-Related Notes

Term

Term refers to a particular four-month period of course study:

  • fall term – September to December
  • winter term – January to April
  • spring term – May to August

Co-op fee

An additional fee assessed to all co-op students enrolled in more than two 0.5-unit courses per term, for a prescribed number of academic terms.

Work Report Marking fee for co-op students

The work report marking fee for co-op students is set at a rate of $14 per term. This additional fee will recover the academic-related costs of marking work-reports and is calculated in accordance with guidelines approved by the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities.

Students who have arranged fees for the normally scheduled number of academic terms, but are required to arrange fees for additional terms in order to complete their academic degree requirements are exempted from the co-op and work-report marking portion of their fees for the additional terms. Student Financial Services will remove co-op and work-report marking fees in excess of the number required by the specific program.

Study permits

The Ontario government has established a policy of higher tuition fees for international students studying in Ontario on study permits. 

Incidental fees

Incidental fees are non-tuition fees charged to students each term based on their faculty, course load, and citizenship status. Students enrolled in three or more on-campus courses will be charged full-time incidental fees. Students enrolled in one or two on-campus courses are charged part-time incidental fees. Students enrolled in online courses only are not charged incidental fees. Access to some student services may be restricted when the student is not charged full-time incidental fees.

Other costs

The fees shown on the student account do not include the costs of text books, class notes, mandatory supplies, certain accommodation or other costs associated with field trips, or other miscellaneous expenses.
