Pay your fees
Student fees
You can find fee totals, fee breakdowns and payment deadlines in your Student Centre under My Financials: Account Inquiry.
General fees
General fees give you access to many services such as the gym, transit, health and dental services etc. Some fees are paid once per year (annual fees) and others are paid three times per year (per term fees). The Spring and Summer term are considered one term.
Students can opt-out of the health and dental plan (contact the GSA) and the graduate donation fee before the fee payment deadline. If you opt out, you will see waived beside the fee in your Student Centre.
Tuition fees
Your tuition is the cost of instruction and teaching to attain your degree. Thesis-based students pay a flat tuition fee whether they are taking classes or working on their thesis. However, some courses have supplementary course fees in addition to the flat tuition fee.
