Graduate Fees

Master’s Program

The minimum fee for a master’s program is six term fee units. However, the minimum fee rule will be waived for students who complete all degree requirements in less than six terms of continuous full time enrolment.

Students who enrol on leave are not eligible for the waiver of the minimum fee requirements.

A master’s students who has completed six terms of enrolment (excluding on leave enrolment) pays a continuing fee in subsequent terms equal to one half of the regular fee.

Doctoral Program

A doctoral student who has completed eight terms of enrolment (excluding on leave enrolment) pays a continuing fee in subsequent terms equal to one half of the regular fee.

Terms in which a student enrolls on leave do not count towards the number of terms required to switch to the continuing fee.

Co-operative Education

Per term fee students in a co-operative education term who are completing at least one course will pay a per term fee based on the stage they have reached in their program (either regular fee or continuing fee). Students not completing a course will pay the co-operative education fee.

Per unit fee students in a co-operative education term will pay the co-operative education fee. If students are also completing courses, they also pay the fees that are applicable to those courses.

Fees are listed in the tuition fee schedule.

Per Unit Fee Programs

In programs in which there is a final ‘capstone’ requirement such as a thesis, project, extended essay or field exam, this requirement is assigned a number of units. Students must enrol for this and pay the appropriate fee for at least one term, normally at the end of their program of study. Once they have enrolled for this requirement in a particular term, they must enrol in all subsequent terms until degree requirements have been completed. In the subsequent terms of enrolment for this requirement, the units assigned will be half the first term’s value.

Students who audit a course will pay the same audit fee as domestic undergraduate students.

Students in per unit programs who complete undergraduate or graduate courses in other programs at 91泡芙, or who complete courses at other institutions covered by the Western Deans’ Agreement, will pay the same fee per unit as they do for courses in their own programs.

Fees are listed in the tuition fee schedule.

Extension and Readmission

Per term fee students enrolled for a one term extension beyond the maximum time limits of their program, and students readmitted to complete their degree requirements pay the full per term fee.

Per unit fee students enrolled for a one term extension beyond the maximum time limits of their program, or readmitted for one term to complete their degree requirements pay the per unit fee that is applicable to their program.

All students pay a $100 reinstatement fee and a $75 application fee for readmission.
