Graduate Student Tuition and Fees

Fees are payable at the time of registration. All graduate students must be registered in each semester of the three-semester academic year throughout the period of their program until all academic requirements for the degree have been met and they have been deemed eligible to graduate by the School of Graduate Studies. Final dates in each semester for notification of completion of academic requirements, in order to be deregistered from Graduate Registration 9000/Medicine 9900 without incurring liability for continuance fees, are included in the  University Diary.

There is a minimum fee for all graduate degrees. The amount of this fee for Newfoundland and Labrador resident, Canadian, and international students will depend on the semester fees in effect during the period of registration. Semester fees are subject to review at least annually.

  1. At the time of first registration, each graduate student will be assigned to the appropriate payment plan. The fee payable in the first and subsequent semesters will depend upon the payment plan selected as outlined in the table below. Once selected, the payment plan will remain in effect for the duration of the student's period of registration, and cannot be changed. Payment Plan C is available for selected one-year programs only. 
  2. A student who completes their program in a period of time shorter than that covered by the selected payment plan will, in the final semester, be required to pay the difference between the product of the semester fee in effect in that final semester and the number of times which a fee should have been paid in accordance with the payment plan selected, and the actual amount paid.
  3. A student whose program extends beyond the period covered by the selected payment plan will be assessed the appropriate program continuance fee for each additional semester of registration. Continuance fees will be charged until the program is complete.
  4. The program continuance fees per semester for citizens of Canada and permanent residents, and international students are:
    • Masters candidate: 8.15% of the total program fee for Plan A
    • Graduate Diploma candidate: 8.15% of the total program fee
    • Doctoral candidate: 8.15% of the total program fee
  5. The semester fees listed cover only the courses (if any) prescribed for the program by the academic unit and approved by the Dean of Graduate Studies. A student taking courses which are not part of the approved program must pay for them separately in accordance with the fee schedule for undergraduate courses.
