Every candidate enrolled in a doctoral program is required to maintain continuous registration by paying tuition instalments, plus authorized student fees according to the appropriate tuition fee schedule.
All candidates are "full-time" for the assessment of tuition and authorized student fees. Authorized student fees apply to all doctoral programs regardless of credit load or place of residence.
Candidates who have paid more than the minimum for the degree (the first six (6) instalments) will have their tuition fees prorated to the end of the month in which the Faculty of Graduate Studies confirms that all degree requirements have been completed. This includes the submission of their dissertation to the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Student fees are not prorated.
