Students pay the following fees in addition to tuition: E-learning fee, educational support fee, student health records fee, student records maintenance fee, and a $12.50 per course fee to portfolio nursing courses. (The typical student will portfolio 9 courses, but students from eligible programs may portfolio up to 11 courses.)

Full details regarding tuition and fees can be found on the Office of the Registrar website.

Please note that the figures are an estimate and are subject to change without notice prior to the first day of instruction for each semester.
