Tuition and Fees

Students can estimate the cost of their program by using the Student Accounts Fee Calculator.  The following information is required:

  2. Academic Year or Term:  Fall 2022/Winter 2023 (for example)
  3. Program:  Master's Full-Time (for example)

    When selecting your program, take the following into consideration:
    Master's Thesis students have a registration status of "Full-Time" for the first 3 terms of the Program (not including the Summer term).  Followed by a registration status of "Additional Session" for each term (Fall, Winter and Summer) until graduation.
    Master's Non-Thesis students have a registration status of "Full-Time" (registration of 12 or more credits) for the first 3 terms of the Program (not including the Summer term).  Followed by a registration status of "Non-Thesis Extension" (registration of 0 credits) for each term (Fall and Winter) until graduation.  Non-thesis students are charged fees based on the number credits registered each term.
    PhD students have a registration status of "Full-Time" for the first 6 or 8* terms of the Program (not including the Summer term).  Followed by a registration status of "Additional Session" for each term (Fall, Winter and Summer) until graduation.
