Graduate students are assessed tuition and general fees as listed below. Refer to the Academic Schedule for payment deadlines or consult with the Faculty of Graduate Studies regarding payment plans.

Thesis-Based Students

Students in a thesis-based degree (master's or doctoral) program are assessed annual tuition fees. All tuition fees are pro-rated over four terms: one-third in Fall, one-third in Winter, one-sixth in Spring and one-sixth in Summer.

Students in thesis-based master's programs (excluding MBA and those listed in P.1.2.1 Graduate Program-Specific Fees) are assessed tuition fees for the first year. After the first year, annual continuing fees will apply. Students in the thesis-based MBA program are assessed tuition fees in both the first and second years. After the second year, continuing fees will apply.

Students in Doctor of Philosophy programs are assessed tuition fees until the term immediately following admission to candidacy (Spring/Summer are counted as one term). For information on admission to candidacy, see section K. (Candidacy) of the Graduate Studies Calendar. In all subsequent years, students will be assessed annual continuing fees.

Students in thesis programs who take courses with differential fee assessments will be required to pay the differential fee assessment in addition to their regular full or continuing fees. The exception is Haskayne PhD students.

The tuition fees below are the annual rates and apply to all thesis-based programs except for those specified in P.1.2.1 Graduate Program-Specific Fees.

Some programs may charge additional program fees (refer to the Program-Specific Fee table).

Please note that differential fees may be assessed for courses offered by certain faculties or programs. All students who take these courses are required to pay the differential fee. Students in thesis programs who take courses with differential fee assessments will be required to pay the differential fee assessment in addition to their regular full or continuing fees (with the exception of Haskayne PhD students).
