Regulations Concerning Fees for Graduate Programs

Program Fees

Tuition fees for graduate programs are program fees. Program fees consist of regular program fee installments and graduate re-registration fees. Students are charged a fee for every term they are registered in a degree program.

· The minimum regular program fee for a master's degree (excluding MBA, Health Informatics web-based program and one year master's programs*) is 5.0 fee installments which can consist of a combination of regular full and regular half fee installments totaling 5.0 full regular fee installments. One (1.0) additional regular fee installment will be assessed if a student remains registered after having paid 5.0 regular full fee installments (for a total of 6.0).

· The minimum regular program fee for a PhD degree is 7.5 fee instalments which can consist of a combination of regular full and regular half fee instalments totalling 7.5 full fee instalments. Up to 1.5 additional regular fee instalments will be assessed if a student remains registered after having paid 7.5 regular fee instalments (for a total of 9.0 regular fee instalments).

· The minimum regular program fee for the MBA degree is 6.0 fee installments for Daytime program students and 9.0 fee installments for Evening program students, which can consist of a combination of regular full, and regular half fee installments.

· The minimum regular program fee for the PhD degree in Law is 5.0 fee installments, which can consist of a combination of regular full and regular half fee installments. Up to 2.5 additional regular fee installments will be assessed if a student remains registered after having paid 5.0 regular full fee installments (for a total of 7.5).

· An installment and ancillary fees are assessed for each of the three terms of the academic year (September to December, January to April, May to August). Payment each term is either a full (1.0) or half (.50) installment depending on your registration, whether full or part time.

* For those students registered in a one year master’s program (completed within 12 months), the minimum number of fee installments is 3.0. Current programs include English, French, History, Indigenous Governance, Law**, Applied Linguistics, and Political Science. Up to 3.0 additional regular fee installments will be assessed if a student remains registered after having paid 3.0 fee installments (for a total of 6.0). Only one term of personal leave is allowed in approved one year degrees (unless a second is approved by the Dean of Graduate Studies) and students may register in co-op work terms for fulfillment of the co-op designation. Terms of personal leave will not be counted as academic terms and therefore a graduate fee installment will not be assessed. Terms of co-op registration only will be assessed the co-op fees. Terms of co-op registration and academic registration will be assessed the co-op fees and a graduate fee installment.

** The minimum regular program fee for the LLM completed within 12 months is 3.0 fee installments, which can consist of a combination of regular full and regular half fee installments. Up to 2.0 additional regular fee installments will be assessed if a student remains registered after having paid 3.0 fee installments (for a total of 5.0).

See definition of full-time and part-time status.

Reregistration Fees 

Students who have paid the entire program fee for their degree (6 fee units for master's degrees; 9 fee units for doctoral programs) but have not completed their program requirements will be charged reregistration fees.

Students who remain registered after exceeding the time limit for their degree (normally five years for a master's degree and seven years for a doctoral degree—see Time Limits) will be assessed a program extension fee at the regular tuition rate per term.

Fees for Students Transferring from a Master's to a Doctoral Program 

Students who transfer from a master's to a doctoral program without completing the master's degree will receive credit toward their doctoral minimum program fee requirement to a value no greater than the minimum fee installments paid to the master's program. Fees paid beyond the minimum program fee requirement for the master's degree cannot be credited to the doctoral fee requirement.

Graduation 

Students who have not paid the minimum number of fee installments for their degree by the final session before graduation must pay the outstanding installments before their degree is awarded. Students expecting to complete their academic requirements are strongly advised to contact the Graduate Admissions and Records Office to confirm their fee installment status.
