Canadian senior student fees

The following course tuition fees are effective for students registering in courses after Jan. 1, 2024 to Aug. 31, 2024.

For Sep. 1, 2024, to Aug. 31, 2025, use these fees.

Canadian senior citizens

Canadian senior citizens (65 years of age or over) are offered a reduction in course registration fees. Seniors pay the full Course Administration and Technology Fee and Course Materials Fee portion of a registration but are given a reduction of one-half the tuition fee as reflected below.

Seniors are also given a reduction of one-half of the course extension fees; however, all other course and academic-related fees, including the one-time, non-refundable application fee and any service fees, must be paid in full.

The seniors’ reduction does not apply to students living outside Canada or non-Canadian students living temporarily in Canada. Those students must refer to the regular fee categories.
