Tuition fees at the undergraduate level are based on the number of credits
taken. The following information reflects a normal course load of 30 credits
per year. First-year students may opt to take only 29 credits, in which case
the tuition fees would be slightly less. Costs set out below are on an annual
basis. Note that the 300$ deposit goes towards first year tuition.
Part-time students will be charged tuition fees at the per credit rate and will be subject to student society fees, student services fees, registration and transcripts charges, and information technology charges.
