Fees

Student Fees

Student fees are assessed one term at a time. Student fees include tuition, incidentals, and fees for residence and meal plan, as applicable. Exception: Students living in residence at United College or Conrad Grebel University College will be billed directly by that institution for the residence fee.

Fees for textbooks, class notes, mandatory supplies, or other costs associated with field trips, and/or other miscellaneous expenses, are not charged to student accounts.

Undergraduate fee schedules are posted on the Student Financial Services website.

Tuition Fees

Fees are assessed per 0.5-unit course (and pro-rated for other course weights), either on campus or online, whether for credit or being audited. For the latest undergraduate course fees, refer to the Student Financial Services website.

Co-operative Programs

Engineering/Software Engineering/Architecture

Students taking more than two 0.5-unit courses are assessed on a per-term basis for the basic term fee. Students taking two or fewer 0.5-unit courses in a term are assessed by course at the unit course fee.

All Other Co-operative Academic Plans

Students are assessed by course at the unit course fee to a maximum of the basic term fee.

Regular Programs

Optometry

Students are assessed on a per-term basis for the basic term fee.

Other Regular Academic Plans

Students are assessed by course at the unit course fee to a maximum of the basic term fee.

Incidental Fees

Incidental fees are non-tuition fees charged to students each term based on their faculty, program, course load, campus, and citizenship status.

Access to some student services may be restricted when the student is not charged full-time incidental fees.

Students can opt out of some incidental fees charged each term by making their selections in Quest by the term due date.

Students can request a refund for the charges associated with the supplementary health, dental, and legal service plans annually, during the change of coverage period each fall term, on the Studentcare website. Successful opt outs will be reflected on student accounts during the term.

Co-op Fee

The co-op fee is 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 based on their program of record during that term. This fee reflects the additional administrative cost associated with offering a co-op program. Students who have completed the normally scheduled number of academic terms, but are required to remain enrolled for additional terms in order to complete their academic degree requirements are exempt from the co-op and work report marking fees in excess of the number required by their program.

Work Report Marking Fee

The work report marking fee for co-op students recovers the academic-related costs of marking work reports, work term reflections, the Pharmacy Inventory of Skills report, and other work term assessment tools. It is calculated in accordance with guidelines approved by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. Students in Pharmacy, Engineering (excluding Architecture), and Software Engineering are charged the work report marking fee.
