Tuition and Fees

All graduate students are personally responsible for payment of tuition and student fees.

Tuition Fees for graduate students are paid in three instalments annually. There are also student fees in addition to tuition fees.

The OCF minimum funding provides students with enough support for tuition fees, but students are personally responsible for paying both their tuition and their assessed student fees.

Tuition fees are to be paid in three instalments annually, and must be paid by the student. If the student’s tuition is ‘covered’ by the OCF program, please keep in mind that this means the student must pay it either by accepting an award in the SSC system, or by paying the fees up front and being reimbursed over the term through TA-ships, GRA appointments, or other means of support.

Payment of fees

If a student does not pay the fees on time, the student’s records will be placed on “financial hold”, all registration activities will be blocked, and the student will be charged a penalty fee.

Student fees cover AMS and GSS fees, Medical and Dental Extended Health Plans, Sports and Athletics, U-Pass/Compass Card, etc. More information about these fees can be found on the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS) site.

Opt Out

Students may "opt out" of some of these fees. More information is available here
