Tuition adjustments for international students

In 2011/2012, tuition fees for international students underwent adjustments. The increase is comprised of a 3% cost-of-living increase and a 1% adjustment to increase financial assistance for international students in undergraduate programs.

The cost-of-living increase reflects cost increases in wages and salaries, library acquisitions, supplies and equipment, utility charges, and other related education costs. This increase took effect for all international students in May 2011.

The new per-credit amount for international students

With the annual cost-of-living increase, and the additional adjustment to cover capital costs, the adjusted tuition amount for newly admitted international students is as follows.
