Canadian senior student fees

The following course tuition fees are effective for students registering with a start date of September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023.

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.
