Tuition & Incidental Fees

Fees are set by the University of Toronto

Full-time Annual Tuition Fees

Full-time students pay annual tuition and incidental fees for the duration of the program. Those students who accelerate full-time studies may need to pay a balance of degree fee (see Minimum Degree Fee).

View your ACORN invoice on July 17, 2023 for the Fall-Winter session and mid-April for the Summer session. ACORN tuition fee billing marks the beginning of the registration period for each session.

Before each session your sessional registration status is initially set as “Invited to Register”. You can enroll in courses but your registration status has to be changed to “Registered” by your division’s Pay or Defer to Register deadline. Otherwise your sessional registration will be “Financially Cancelled”, and your course enrolment will be cancelled. Paying or deferring during the registration period will automatically complete registration for each session.

Make a Fee Payment From Outside of Canada

The University of Toronto has authorized Convera and Flywire to process incoming international student tuition and residence fee payments for the University of Toronto. The University does not authorize other payment services to handle incoming international student fee payments.  Students who choose to use other services do so at his/her own risk. The Student Receivables & Accounting Office does not accept payments by wire transfer and/or demand draft/money order and reserves the right to hold or return these payments.

Convera: you pay the Canadian dollar fee payment in the currency of choice online or at a local bank at a competitive exchange rate and with NO transaction charges from Convera or the University of Toronto.

Flywire: make your fee payment through the Flywire online payment portal in your home currency and local payment methods. This service provides real-time fee payment tracking and around-the-clock multilingual support.

See additional information on the Student Accounts homepage.


Fee Deferral

Purpose
Fee deferral gives students more time to pay fees until the graduate funding stipend or other approved major source of funding is available.  Students who have been approved to defer payment have until April 30th to pay student fees (this does not include OSAP deferral).

Who is eligible?
Students receiving OSAP see alternate process below.

Full-time students may be eligible if you are:

  • Receiving university funding (major award, stipend, or teaching assistantship) or
  • Receiving funding through an external funding agency whereby there is an existing agreement with the university which exceeds the Minimum Payment to Register amount displayed on your ACORN invoice; or
  • Have an approved SGS Financial Plan Arrangement on file with the SGS Financial Aid and Advising Office; partial payment may be required.

Process
Eligible students must complete the request to register without payment (fee deferral) process through ACORN when fees have been assessed. Students who are not able to defer through ACORN must complete this form.

Residence payments cannot be deferred through this process.

See SGS for more details

OSAP Deferral
If the student is not able to process the OSAP fee deferral in ACORN, please contact ihpme.grad.assist@utoronto.ca for the OSAP fees deferral form.    Review the SGS Sessional Dates for when payments are due..


Minimum Degree Fee

If, at the end of your program, the total amount of academic fees which you paid during the time you were registered is less than the minimum degree fee (see link below), you will be required to pay the difference, which is called a balance of degree fee. This is assessed prior to graduation. Students who undertake their studies on a part-time basis are required to pay at least the same amount of tuition for their degree as a full-time student. Full-time students who accelerate their programs and finish the degree requirements in less time than the program length must also pay a balance of degree fee. 

More information can be found on the SGS website Minimum Degree Fee and in the SGS calendar


Part-time and Flex-time Tuition

Part-time MSc Tuition
Students undertaking thesis-based studies on a part-time basis are required to pay the part-time academic and incidental fees each year they register until the completion of their program. (Domestic: 2023-24)

Students enrolled in a course-based part-time MSc, e.g. Health Systems Leadership & Innovation (HSLI), pay academic and incidental fees in the terms where they take courses. (Domestic: HSLI 2023)

More details: https://sgs.calendar.utoronto.ca/fee-regulations#14.4

Flex-Time PhD Tuition
Students pay full-time fees for the first four years and part-time fees thereafter. Students are expected to be self-funded.
