UofC " This Is Now

All graduate students pay both general and tuition fees each year. The tuition fees listed below are effective 1 May 2013 to 30 April 2014, and are subject to change without notice.

All students are assessed tuition fees. Tuition and general fees must be paid no later than the deadline date indicated for the annual registration month. For information on how to pay your fees, please visit the Enrolment Services website at http://www.ucalgary.ca/registrar/payment.

Thesis-based students: All students in the first year of a thesis-based degree (Master's or doctoral) program are assessed program fees.

All students in a Doctor of Philosophy degree are assessed program fees until the term immediately following successful completion of a candidacy exam (Spring/Summer are counted as one term). In all subsequent years, students will be assessed continuing fees. All program and continuing fees are pro-rated over four terms: one-third in Fall, one-third in Winter, one-sixth in Spring and one-sixth in Summer as posted on the FGS website at: http://grad.ucalgary.ca/current/tuition.

Visiting students who take courses are assessed tuition fees on a per course basis. Visiting students who are doing research are assessed a tuition fee equivalent to one graduate half course, unless participating in the Canadian Graduate Student Research Mobility Agreement. See A.3 Admission Categories for further information. Normally, part-time general fees are assessed.

Course-based students: Students in most course-based Master's programs pay tuition fees on a per course basis, in the first and in subsequent years. Students in course-based programs are assessed tuition fees by course, based on the level of the course. Some programs may charge additional program fees, refer to the Program-Specific Fee table. At the time of annual registration, each student is assessed a registration deposit equivalent to the fee for a graduate half-course, whether or not the student has registered in a course. This registration deposit is required to maintain registration in the student's program and is non-refundable. However, the fee is credited to the first course the student takes in the registration year.

Please note that differential fees are assessed for MBA courses offered by the Haskayne School of Business, for undergraduate courses in the Faculty of Medicine and for undergraduate courses in the Faculty of Law. 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 normal program or continuing fees.

Students who audit courses pay half the above course fees. For courses with a differential fee assessment, for example, MBA courses, a student who audits a course pays half the current course fee and half the current differential fee.

**The Government approved market modifier for the MBA program was implemented in Fall of 2011 with MBA students admitted in or after Fall 2011 being assessed the higher of the fees as noted above. Students who are enrolled in a program other than MBA taking MBA courses offered by the Haskayne School of Business will be assessed the MBA Half-Course fee differential with market modifier beginning Fall 2011 regardless of year in program.
