APPENDIX V:
ADDITIONAL FEE INFORMATION:
a. Non-degree, exchange and qualifying students, and students who take courses that are outside their program requirements
will pay whatever the rate is for the courses in which they enroll (i.e. if an undergraduate course, the applicable
undergraduate domestic or international fee, if a graduate course, the applicable graduate fee, etc.) in addition to their regular
graduate tuition payable. For courses in specialty graduate programs, the relevant per-unit fee will apply. For courses in
regular graduate programs, the graduate basic per-unit fee will apply.
b. Continuing fees are set at 50% of the rate for the student’s program. Any exceptions to this are specified in the “Notes” section.
c. Audit fees are set at 50% of the rate for the courses in which the student enrolls.
d. The non-refundable graduation fee is payable in three installments of $12 in each of the student’s first three terms of
enrollment in the graduate program.
e. Undergraduate students registered in an Accelerated Master’s will pay the graduate rate per unit (or premium per unit
rate if applicable) for graduate courses taken during their undergraduate career which have been approved for use in the
Accelerated Master’s.

NOTES:
1. The term fee will be charged for the first four terms, and then a 25% continuing fee will be applied for the remainder of the program. The co-op fee is not charged
separately for this program because it has been included in the overall program fee.
2. For students who entered in 2018/19 or earlier, tuition fees are grandfathered based on the year the student entered the program. The percentage increase
shown represents the increase in fees for students entering in 2019/20 compared to those who entered in 2018/19. Students entering in 2019/20 or later will
not have grandfathered fees.
3. The Master’s Program in Big Data (special arrangements cohort) program did not admit students after 2017/18. The tuition fees shown apply to students who
entered in 2017/18.
4. The term fee will be charged for the first four terms, and then a 50% continuing fee will be applied for the remainder of the program. The co-op fee is not charged
separately for this program because it has been included in the overall program fee.
5. Tuition fees in this program are grandfathered based on the year the student entered the program. The percentage increase shown represents the increase in
fees for students entering in 2019/20 compared to those who entered in 2018/19. Tuition fees for any given student in this program do not increase each year.
6. The tuition and ancillary fees for the Teck EMBA and Teck GDBA programs are not collected through the student’s account.
7. Total program tuition for the EMBA in Indigenous Business and Leadership program (formerly called the EMBA in Aboriginal Business and Leadership program)
and the Community EMBA (formerly called the Northwest EMBA) are the same as the program tuition for the EMBA program. The per term tuition amount is
different because the EMBA program is 5 terms in duration and the Indigenous EMBA and the Community EMBA are 6 terms in duration. Note that the continuing
fee for EMBA programs is the same as the continuing fee for regular programs.
8. An additional activity fee up to $3,000 per student for an international study tour will also be charged for the full time Masters in Business Administration
program. This fee does not include the cost of airfare to the study tour destination. The destination is subject to change from year to year and may result in a
higher additional activity fee.
9. For new students starting in 2017/18 or later, the MA in Comparative Media Arts charges the regular per-term fee rather than the basic per unit fee.
10. For students entering in 2019/20, the term fee will be charged for the first six terms, and then a 50% continuing fee per term will be applied for the remainder
of the program. For students who entered prior to 2019/20, the term fee will be charged for the first five terms, and then a 50% continuing fee per term will be
applied for the remainder of the program.
11. For students entering in 2019/20, total program tuition fees represent a 2% increase over the 2018/19 tuition fees. However, the per term tuition amount has
decreased because total program tuition is divided over 6 terms rather than 5 terms, starting in 2019/20.
12. Digital Media programs are jointly offered by UBC, SFU, ECUAD and BCIT. Their tuition is set by the Great Northern Way Board of Directors.
13. For students entering the MSc in Ecological Restoration in 2019/20, total domestic program tuition fees represent a 2% increase over the 2018/19 tuition fees,
and total international program tuition fees represent a 4% increase over the 2018/19 tuition fees. However, the per term tuition amount has decreased because
total program tuition is divided over 5 terms rather than 4 terms, starting in 2019/20.
14. For students entering the MSc in Ecological Restoration in 2018/19 or earlier, the term fee will be charged for the first four terms and then a $900 continuing fee
per term will be applied for the remainder of the program. For students entering in 2019/20 or later, the term fee will be charged for the first five terms and then
a $900 continuing fee per term will be applied for the remainder of the program.
15. Students in the MSc in Ecological Restoration are charged ancillary fees at the part-time rate for SFU and BCIT.
