Tuition and Fees for International Students
A typical full-time student will enrol in 30 credits per academic year, or 15 credits per semester.
International students currently studying in Canada, as well as exchange or sponsored students, are required to pay a non-refundable $1,000 deposit. Prospective international students are required to pay the deposit of $7,511 (equivalent to full-time tuition fees for one term).
All international students and their dependents must enrol in the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP), or a similar approved plan, for health coverage. The premium cost for a single student is $612.00 for the period from September 1 to August 31. This fee is subject to change upon evaluation of the program. International students will not be permitted to register until and unless they have enrolled in UHIP or provided documented proof of membership in another similar plan.
