Tuition for graduate studies will depend upon your program of study. Most project or thesis based programs have a per term cost. Course-based programs are assessed tuition for each class you take. Some programs have a flat tuition amount either for the entire program or per term.

All programs also have student fees that are charged for each term to cover services like health insurance or a bus pass.

Thesis and project-based

Graduate students in a thesis or project-based program pay tuition three times a year for as long as they are enrolled in their program.

Course-based

Students in course-based programs pay tuition for each class they take. Every class is assigned a number of credit units (usually three) which determines their cost. If a student is not enrolled in any classes for a term, they will need to register in a 'Maintenance of Status' class that is 3 credits to stay in their program.
