Tuition & Other Costs

Tuition & Incidental Fees

The cost of studies at a post-secondary institution varies based on the program of choice, whether a student lives in residence, the cost of books, equipment, transportation and other living expenses.

Students pay two types of fees: tuition (academic) fees and compulsory incidental (non-academic) fees

On average, full-time students pay $4,500 to $8,500 in tuition fees per academic year.

You will want to start assessing your possible fees by first considering if your program has "regulated fees" or "deregulated fees."

The following programs have deregulated fees:

  • Bioinformatics (offered through the Department of Mathematical and Computational Sciences)
  • Communication, Culture & Information Technology (CCIT)
  • Computer Science
  • Commerce
  • Management

Visit the U of T Student Accounts website (under "Sessions") for more information on tuition fees.
