Fees and payment

2023-2024 tuition and fees frequently asked questions

The university remains committed to providing high-quality education and research as it plans for the 2023-2024 academic year and beyond. We're continuing to invest in our student’s blended-learning to ensure you get the most out of your education.

We understand that you may have questions regarding your fees and tuition. We’re here to help—we’ve answered some of the biggest tuition questions from students, below:

I’m not on-campus, how can online learning cost the same as in-person?

A blended-learning approach does not mean less instructors, teaching assistants, support services, or access—all of us at the university will still be available and accessible to ensure you are successful and have the support you need.
What do my tuition and fees pay for?

Your fees consist of tuition, compulsory ancillary and compulsory flat fees which are approved by the Board of Governors and the Ontario Tech Student Union. To break down your fees visit our tuition and fees section.
Who can I talk to if I have questions about my finances?

Your university education is one of the most important investments you will make! It is very important you understand all the fees that make up your total costs, such as tuition, compulsory ancillary fees, additional compulsory fees and specific course-related fees.

After you review your fees, you should review your payment options and payment and refund deadlines.

We understand that university can be expensive—our Student Awards and Financial Aid (SAFA) team are here to assist you with your funding options, such as bursaries, on-campus employment, scholarships and student loans.

How your tuition and fees are calculated

Tuition at Ontario universities is based on four factors:

Provincial government policy
The university and program
Whether the student is considered domestic (Canadian citizen, permanent resident or convention refugee) or international (not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, or are currently studying or have studied outside of Canada)
The student’s year of study
