Tuition, Fees and Residence Costs

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.

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.

2024-2025 Tuition
2024-2025 International Tuition rates approved by Board of Governors.

Undergraduate students are billed tuition based on their status in the University’s records as one of the following:

  1. Domestic Ontario student
  2. Domestic Non-Ontario student
  3. International student

Eligibility and 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.

Deposits

Registration Deposit – FALL SEMESTER ONLY

In order to ensure retention of the courses you select or to be able to add and drop courses for the registering semester, all students are required to pay a minimum non-refundable registration deposit of $200 by the registration deposit deadline. Your Non-Refundable Registration Deposit will be applied to your student account. All previous outstanding balances must be paid first or the $200 will be applied to the outstanding balance and will not be considered as a non-refundable registration deposit. Please review your account on WebAdvisor and consult the preferred payment methods for the registration deposit. 

Failure to pay the non-refundable registration deposit will result in: 

  1. Blocked access to course selection for the registering semester. 
  2. De-registration (the removal of courses as a result of not meeting payment requirements and deadlines), which will free up spaces in those courses that other students can then select. 

Please note: All students must pay the $200 Non-Refundable Registration Deposit by the registration deadline, regardless of funding sources, e.g. OSAP, RESP, scholarships, etc. 

 

International Deposit - NEW

New international students are required to pay a non-refundable tuition deposit of $1,000 CAD by June 1, 2024. This deposit is only required for your first semester. Please consult the preferred payment methods for paying your deposit. This deposit is not an additional fee – it will be applied to your tuition balance.

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. 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.
