University of Guelph-Humber

Tuition and fees are dependent on how many credits a student is registered for in each semester.

Full-Time

The normal full-time semester load for each academic program is 2.50 credits except where otherwise prescribed by the schedule of studies. All students registered in 2.00 credits (or more) in any given semester are considered full-time.

Part-Time

A student who is registered in fewer than 2.00 credits in a semester is considered part-time.

The following is the international and Visa student tuition rates for the 2019-2020 academic year.

The most efficient means for an international student to pay student fees is through Western Union Business Solutions bank to bank transfer. This option allows you to pay the Canadian dollar student fees in the currency of your choice and provides you with a simple and secure way of initiating a payment electronically.

The University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) is a mandatory insurance to pay the cost of the hospital and medical services that international students may need during their stay in Canada while registered at the University. The fee is compulsory, and it is charged as part of your tuition and fees which can be viewed on WebAdvisor.

Full-Time Students

Full-time paid international students are covered under the University health insurance plan from the first day of classes. The insurance fee is pro-rated based on the semester you begin your studies, i.e., September, January or May. The health care insurance is a basic package that is subject to change on an annual basis. It is important to emphasize that not all health conditions are covered.

Review Your Coverage

International students are strongly urged to review their coverage information and purchase additional insurance coverage as appropriate. If you have any questions, please contact the Humber College International Office.

This health insurance coverage is for international students only. It does not include spouses or children. If you have a spouse and/or dependents, you may wish to pay a supplemental fee and purchase insurance. Arrangements for adding family members are made directly with Morcare, our health insurance provider. The option to add family members will not be available until the start of the semester.
