• Domestic Ontario fee rate
• Domestic Out-of-Province fee rate
• International fee rate

You must pay your full fees at the time you enrol. Visit How to Enrol In a Course for detailed information about the enrolment process.

Can I get financial assistance to help pay my fees?

Awards and Financial Assistance lists all need-based financial aid (including government assistance) and merit-based awards available to continuing education students, along with eligibility criteria, how to apply, application deadlines, and more.

What are international student fees?

International Students explains how to calculate the International fee rate for courses. It also provides additional details about services and information for international students.

International Students: Toronto Metropolitan University is currently unable to offer financial assistance to international continuing education students. All international students are encouraged to explore home government or private sources of funding prior to arriving in Canada.

Full-Time Students: Toronto Metropolitan Undergraduate full-time program students who enrol in continuing education courses through The Chang School will be charged the applicable Chang School course fee(s).

Part-Time Students: Toronto Metropolitan Undergraduate part-time program students who enrol in continuing education courses through The Chang School will be charged undergraduate fees for all of their enrolments; they are not charged the published Chang School course fee(s).

Fee Changes

Every effort is made to adhere to the details outlined on this website, although courses, fees, days, hours of instruction, and instructors are subject to change without prior notice.

Students are academically and financially responsible for all enrolled courses and fees incurred unless they formally withdraw within the published deadline dates (whether or not they attend a class). Courses can be officially dropped via MyServiceHub at my.toronotmu.ca.

HST

Some courses are subject to HST and where applicable it is included in the total fee.

Outstanding Fees and Costs

As a student, you are personally responsible for paying the following:

• Library fines
• Fees for services rendered
• Costs incurred for damage to, or loss of, University property

Non-payment of fees/costs will result in the withholding of grades and transcripts, issuance of official University documentation, ineligibility for enrolment, and any other action deemed appropriate by the University. Toronto Metropolitan cannot be held responsible for debts incurred by individual students or student organizations.

If you have any outstanding fees owed to Toronto Metropolitan, any payment will first be applied to the existing balance. Enrolment for courses in the next term is not permitted if there is any outstanding fee balance.

Fee Appeal Policy

The Registrar’s Office is responsible for receiving tuition fees, ancillary fees, and other related fees from students enrolled in degree programs, certificate programs, and individual courses. The Registrar’s Office, The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education, and the Yeates School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies have established and published fee payment deadlines and course drop dates (some of which allow for partial refunds of fees). There are, however, many students who submit appeals for refunds beyond what is allowed for in our fee refund policies based on individual and unique circumstances. This policy has been developed to provide clear guidelines related to the review and decision-making processes related to appeals requesting fee reversals and/or refunds. For complete and up-to-date information, review the Fee Appeal Process.

Fee Rates

There are three academic fee rates: Domestic Ontario, Domestic Out-of-Province, and International.

Domestic Fee Rate

This fee rate is for students who are Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents, or specifically exempted by government regulation from the International fee rate, and are residents of Ontario.

Domestic Out-of-Province Fee Rate

This fee rate is for students who are Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents, or specifically exempted by government regulation from the International fee rate, and are residents of a province or territory other than Ontario.

International Fee Rate

This fee rate is for students who do not fall within the Domestic fee rates, or who cannot provide documentation confirming eligibility for International fee exemption. The International fee rate for continuing education students is three and a half (3.5) times the regular student tuition fee for credit courses. The International fee rate applies to degree credit courses only. (For further information on the calculation of the International fee rate, refer to International Students.)

Fee Rate Change Requests and Deadlines

If you meet the eligibility requirements for another fee rate, you can apply to have your fee rate changed. Visit "Fee Rate Changes" on TMU's Fees Categories page for submission instructions, deadlines, and the supporting documentation required to make a rate change.

If your status changes, you must submit official documentation by the published deadline to have your fees revised for the current term. If you miss the deadline, the change will apply to the following term. It is not possible, under any circumstance, to retroactively change your fee rate once a deadline has passed.

Fee Rate Eligibility

Visit "Fee Rate Eligibility" on TMU's Fees Categories page for information on the criteria for each fee rate, as well as eligibility exceptions.

Payment of Fees

All fees must be paid in full at the time of enrolment. Students with account holds and/or outstanding fees from previous terms must clear their holds/balances before further enrolments can be processed.

Fees are paid online using Visa, Visa Debit, Mastercard, Mastercard Debit, or American Express. Students who require an alternate form of payment – such as certified cheque, money order, or debit card – should contact the ServiceHub for arrangements.

Undergraduate students taking full-time Toronto Metropolitan University programs who enrol in Chang School courses should be aware that course fees are due at the time of enrolment. Students should pay these fees through online banking after enrolling via MyServiceHub. Late fees will be applied on the third business day of the month for any overdue amounts. Part-time undergraduate program students are not charged Chang School fees; they are instead billed at the undergraduate tuition and fee rate.

Students enrolled in eligible certificate programs are eligible to apply for OSAP funding; however, course fees must be paid at the time of enrolment. Undergraduate program students receiving OSAP funding for Chang School courses should note that OSAP funds are not released until the course begins.

Course charges and payment details can be accessed by completing an Account Inquiry or generating a Fees & Enrolment Statement – both of these options are available via the Student Fees section of the Student Center in MyServiceHub. T2202 income tax receipts for degree-credit courses are made available on MyServiceHub in late February for courses taken during the previous calendar year.

Late Fee Service Charges

There is a late fee service charge of 1.25% per month (16.08% effective annual rate) assessed on any unpaid balance in a student’s account.
