Tuition, Fees and Residence Costs
ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL STUDENTS ON NEW REGISTRATION DEPOSIT DEADLINE
Please be advised, the $500 Fall 2025 Registration Deposit must be submitted before June 15.
Billing and payments are completed on a semester basis rather than annually. In an effort to spread out the financial burden, payments are required at the start of each semester instead of having to pay the entire amount all at once at the beginning of the school year.
Online payments will take three business days to reach our office. Please verify on your WebAdvisor (after 72 business hrs) to ensure payment has been received and keep a copy of your transaction record.
Billing Status Definitions Tuition Fees and Academic Course Load Registration Deposit
Compulsory Fees International Health Insurance Miscellaneous Fees
Audit Fees Residence Fees Description of Student Fees
Tuition and fees are calculated based on the selection of academic program, course load, cohort year, citizenship, room and meal plan selection and parking and lockers if required. These fees (tuition and fees, registration deposit) are due by the semester deadline date posted. Students' accounts may be viewed through WebAdvisor. The University does not issue printed bills or statements.
Tuition fees are assessed based on your assigned cohort year. Cohort year refers to the academic calendar year for your first admission to the university OR the calendar year for subsequent admission to a new program or readmission to the same program or a new program.
Undergraduate students are billed tuition based on their status in the University’s records as one of the following:
Review the Billing Status Definitions below.
If you are a dependent of a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, diplomat or visitor with an employer-specific work permit, you may qualify for the domestic tuition rate. Read more about eligibility, required documentation and deadlines. If your immigration status changes over the course of your degree and you become eligible for a reduced tuition rate, please ensure that you submit the required documents by the deadline so that you are billed the appropriate tuition amount.
The University of Guelph-Humber honours the Jay Treaty of 1794. If you possess a Native American, Alaskan Native, or Native Hawaiian citizenship document from tribes that are state or federally recognized, or an Indian Status card from the government of Canada, you will be eligible for domestic tuition. Documentation must be presented to qualify. Undergraduate students submit the documentation to Student Financial Services. Please contact the International Student Advisor and the Indigenous Student Advisor to ensure that you are connected to the supports available to you.
Billing Status Definitions
Domestic Ontario Students
You are considered a Domestic Ontario student if you meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Ontario is the most recent province where you have lived for 12 months in a row prior to being a post-secondary student. You must not be considered a resident of any other province.
- You are a dependent student, and the primary residence of your parent(s), stepparent(s) or legal guardian is in Ontario (i.e., Ontario is the most recent province where they have lived for 12 months in a row). If your parents/stepparents are separated or divorced, this requirement applies to the parent or stepparent with whom you normally reside.
- You are married, and the primary residence of your spouse or common-law partner is in Ontario (i.e., Ontario is the most recent province where your spouse or common-law partner has lived for 12 months in a row).
- You are eligible for the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP).
Domestic Non-Ontario Students
You are considered a Domestic Non-Ontario student if you are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, and you do not meet the definition of a Domestic Ontario student.
An appeal form will be available before the start of the fall semester for students who have been billed the Domestic Non-Ontario tuition rate but can provide documentation of their eligibility for the Domestic Ontario rate.
International Students
International students are defined as non-Canadian students who do not have "permanent resident" status and have had to obtain the authorization of the Canadian government to enter Canada with the intention of pursuing an education.
For information about changing status from international to domestic, see "Immigration Status Change."
Tuition Fees and Academic Course Load
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. Students registered in 2.00 credits (or more) in any given semester are considered full-time and will be charged full-time tuition and fees.
Students who have a continuing or permanent disability, which requires a reduced course load (2.0 credits) may be eligible for an accommodation of "per-credit tuition billing".
Part-Time
A student who is registered in fewer than 2.00 credits in a semester is considered part-time and will be billed based on the credits they are registered in for that respective semester.
Semester and Session Credits
For clarification purposes, any combination of Semester credits (12 weeks) and Session credits (six weeks) that total 2.0 credits or more will constitute full-time enrolment and tuition and other University fees will be charged accordingly.
Deposits
Registration Deposit – FALL SEMESTER ONLY
New Deadline Date: June 15, 2025
To be able to add and drop courses for the Fall semester, all undergraduate and diploma students are required to pay a minimum, non-refundable registration deposit of $500 by the registration deposit deadline, regardless of funding sources (e.g., OSAP, bursaries or scholarships, RESPs, etc.).
Your registration deposit payment will be credited to your student account. This deposit goes directly toward your first-term tuition; it is not an extra fee, and it plays an important role in ensuring a smooth start to your academic year.
All outstanding balances from previous semesters must be paid first or the $500 will be applied to the outstanding balance and will not be considered as a registration deposit. Please review your account on WebAdvisor and consult the preferred payment methods for the registration deposit.
Failure to pay the registration deposit will result in blocked access to course selection for the registering semester. Once your deposit is received on your WebAdvisor account, you will be able to register for courses when your course selection window opens.
For additional information, such as answers to the questions below, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
- Why do I need to submit a registration deposit?
- I missed the registration deposit deadline. Can I still pay my deposit after the deadline?
- What if I cannot pay the deposit due to extenuating circumstances?
International Deposit

International Health Insurance
International Health Insurance (UHIP)

The fee is compulsory, and it is charged as part of your tuition and fees which can be viewed on WebAdvisor.
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.
