Graduate diploma and doctoral program fees (except for the PhD in Management) are fixed. Master’s students normally have a choice among 3 payment plans:

• Plan A is normally recommended for full-time students (i.e., students who anticipate completing in 6 semesters or less).
• Plan B is normally recommended for part-time students (i.e., students who will require more than 6 semesters to complete).
• Full-time students in certain 1-year master’s programs may be eligible for Payment Plan C. 
• Graduate students in the non-thesis route of some master’s programs (e.g., MEd, MSW, MScN) are charged under a payment plan unique to their program.

Special fees

Please note that some graduate programs have special fees that are charged in addition to the regular program fees outlined above. Please refer to the Minimum Expense form for details.

Other fees 

Graduate students are also responsible for ancillary fees (including but not exclusive to student union fees, recreation fee, student services fee, campus renewal fee, health insurance, and dental insurance) listed in the Minimum Expense form.

For distance education courses, there are administrative fees which are charged in addition to the tuition fees for these courses. Please visit the Online Learning website for more details. 

Please note that graduate students who do not complete their programs in the number of semesters listed above will be required to pay a continuance fee for each additional semester required. If you finish your graduate program in fewer semesters than the payment plan, you must pay the remaining program fee in a lump sum. Please refer to the form for more information.
