Domestic Fee Table
The domestic tuition rate is charged to students who are specifically exempted from the international student charge, such as Canadian Citizens, Permanent Residents, and Government accepted claims for Refugees or Protected Persons.
Final tuition and fees are calculated based on the number of courses in which you are registered each semester. Additional courses will result in higher tuition and fees.
Tuition and fees are subject to change.
