Understanding Your Tuition and General Fees
| Your Tuition Cost |
|
The University does not mail out invoices, receipts or statements of student accounts. Full details of your student financial account are available to you though your Online Student Centre.
All students must pay tuition fees (usually based on a per course rate), as well as other fees each term. All tuition fees are subject to change, governed by provincial legislation, and have University of Calgary Board of Governors approval.
In addition to your tuition fees you will have general fees assessed according to your program and whether you are considered a full-time or part time student.
You may apply to have the health and dental plan assessment waived if you have comparable coverage elsewhere. Undergraduates should visit the plan website and select the "waiver form" option. Graduate Students who hold alternative coverage can access their form here.
All Students
All students (including Open Studies and Visiting students) are asked to make a tax deductible donation to the Student Peer Assistance Bursary program. In each of the Fall and Winter session undergraduates (including Law & Medicine) are automatically charged $10.00 for full-time students and $7.00 for part-time students. The monies raised will be used to provide bursaries to students in proven financial need. If you wish to cancel or raise the amount of your donation please complete and submit the following form.
Graduate Students
All full and part-time graduate students are automatically assessed a tax-deductible donation of $10 to the Graduate Students Association Bursary Fund, as approved by GSA Referendum in 1996. Donations will be directed to the bursary endowment fund and distributed to deserving graduate students through a Graduate Students Association competition twice per year. You may opt-out of this fee by completing and submitting the following form.
Spring and Summer Fees
Tuition and general fees for the Spring and Summer semesters will be assessed and viewable on your student account after February 28, 2011. If you register before February 28, you will not see any fees on your account but your registration will be successful. The proposed tuition for a 3 unit (half) course is $525.66. This is a proposed increase of $1.83 over last year.
Haskayne School of Business Tuition Differential Fees
Starting in Fall 2011, the government of Alberta approved a tuition differential for courses in the Haskayne School of Business. These differential fees are being phased in on a course by course basis. For the 2011/2012 academic year, two courses will be subject to this differential: Business and the Environment (BSEN) 291 and Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ENTI) 201. Students enrolling in these courses will see an additional fee of $233.06 per course added to their overall tuition and fees.
