Tuition and Financial Aid

Tuition fees

All students are responsible for paying their own tuition fees by the deadlines set by the University of Toronto. Students who are in arrears are not eligible to register with the School of Graduate Studies. Current tuition fee schedules are posted on the Student Accounts website under Divisional Tuition Fees for the School of Graduate Studies and the provost website's tuition lookup tool.

Tuition for Canadian citizens and permanent residents may differ from fees for international students.
