Final Year Fees

Academic fees for doctoral candidates in the final year of his or her program are pro-rated based on the twelve-month academic year. Incidental fees are charged on a sessional (term) basis. A Fee Schedule is available at Student Accounts.

The month-to-month fee schedule does not apply to reinstated students. Students who have been reinstated will have received a notice from the School of Graduate Studies stating the terms of his or her reinstatement, along with the total amount owing for the reinstatement.

International students may be eligible for a partial refund of their UHIP.  Please note that there are deadlines for such refunds, and students should contact the Centre for International Experience to check their eligibility.
