Fees - International Students

All international students are required to pay a differential fee. The required additional fees must be paid at the same time as the regular tuition and general fees. Failure to pay the additional tuition fee by the deadlines prescribed for receipt of all fees will result in cancellation of the international student's registration and admission to the University of Calgary.

International students whose immigration status changes will be required to provide proof of new status before the change in fee assessment will be made. A change in a student's immigration status will not alter the student's fee assessment unless notification is submitted to the Office of the Registrar by the deadline date for payment of fees for the session.

Note: Applicants who are in Canada on a Work Permit or dependents of persons on a Work Permit are required to pay these additional fees (unless the dependents are Canadians or Landed Immigrants).

Mandatory Supplementary Fees for Courses

Course supplementary fees are charged to students for materials or services associated with particular courses or sections of courses. Students will be notified of the additional fees in three ways: (1) mandatory supplementary fees will be described and listed in course outlines; (2) such fees will be published in the Course Registration and Planning Guide; and (3) such fees will be noted on the student's Fee Statement/Confirmation of Registration available from the Office of the Registrar. Departments/instructors are not permitted to charge mandatory supplementary fees which are not assessed by the Office of the Registrar. Students may be charged a laboratory breakage fee by departments.

Mandatory supplementary fees for courses will be payable to the Fee Office at the University of Calgary by the same deadline dates for all fee assessments and are not refundable after the last day to change courses for the session(s) in which the course is being offered.

The following general principles are applicable to course supplementary fees:

1. Operating revenues (including tuition fees) should provide for credit instruction, which includes the following:

(a) Evaluation of work/performance which includes practicums, marking of papers, examinations and other assignments.
(b) Laboratory use (including computer laboratories), laboratory assistance and/or supervision, laboratory materials or supplies, if required for credit instruction, not including laboratory coats and other equipment which becomes the property of the student.
(c) Resources to support instruction; that is, materials or services required as a result of the method of teaching used by the instructor, including but not limited to the following: classroom audio visual equipment, models for art classes, practice rooms, films and videotapes used for instructional purposes, course outlines, etc.
(d) Library facilities and related basic services.

2. Mandatory supplementary fees for courses are those which may be considered for special materials or services not included under general principle #1, if deemed necessary for the successful completion of the course as approved by the Vice-President (Finance & Services).

3. Optional supplementary costs are those which may be incurred for materials which become the property of the student and for which the student has the option of obtaining from a variety of sources. Examples include but are not limited to the following: art supplies, equipment which would become the property of the student, laboratory coats, laboratory manuals, and materials which are reproduced (all of which could, and probably should, be purchased through a University retail outlet).

These principles do not apply to courses offered off-campus. Questions regarding mandatory supplementary fees can be directed to the Office of the Registrar, the Fee Office or the department initiating the fee.

Postgraduate Medical Education

A tuition fee of $874.00 yearly will be charged to all residents/fellows enrolled in postgraduate medical education. This tuition fee will be prorated for the resident who is in attendance for less than twelve months.

The above fees will be assessed at the time of registration with the Faculty of Medicine Office. All fees will be waived on a reciprocal basis for Canadian medical school residents taking electives at the University.

Residents/fellows will be sent a confirmation of their fee assessment with the fees due and payable by the date noted on the assessment. All fees are payable to the Fee Office at the University of Calgary.
