Tuition, Fees and Housing

Schedules

Fees for the current year will be posted by the Office of the Vice-President and Provost.  Although the deadlines are fairly similar from year-to-year, for specific deadline dates (for payment of fees or fee deferral, final registration, first assessment of interest charges, etc.) and other related information such as refund schedules, students should refer to the School of Graduate Studies. Please note that amounts are posted here as a courtesy and that this is not an official source for tuition and fee information. Amounts posted are approximate and subject to change.

The University of Toronto will not mail fee invoices to students. You are informed of fees payable by way of ACORN. Simply view your account in invoice format on the ACORN, which lists every transaction posted to your account. All students are expected to view their account on ACORN to monitor all account activity.

Academic + Incidental Fees

1. Academic Fees 2023-24 for Domestic Students: $10,550.00

This applies to both Mississauga and St. George campus students.

MScOT students do not pay fees per individual course, but rather a program fee which covers the entire first year of the program (three terms). The following academic year, a program fee covers the entire second year of the program (three terms).  When the annual program fee is posted to your student account in ACORN, it will be posted partially under the Fall session, and partially under the Winter session, and no fees will be posted to the Summer session.  Students are allowed to register as long as they pay or successfully defer the minimum fee as indicated on the invoice.

2. Approximate Incidental Fees 2023-24 for Domestic Students:

  • St. George ~ $2000.00
  • Mississauga ~ $2500.00

Consists of campus and student society fees: mandatory charges for campus organizations and services.

  1. Charges for membership in student societies.  All students are members of various student societies as determined by their program of study and full-time or part-time status, i.e., GSU, GSU-health insurance, UTMAGS.
  2. Fees charged to members of a specific college, faculty or program, i.e., OT Students Council. For UTM students only, U-Pass (Shuttle bus) service fees are included. For students assigned to the Mississauga campus, fees include the “U-Pass” / MiWay transit pass, hence the slightly higher fees.
  3. Please note, that Athletic Centre fees are not included for the Summer term (i.e. must be purchased separately, directly from the Athletic Centre)

3. Ancillary Fees 2023-24 for Domestic Students: $97.92

More About Ancillary Fees

The Office of Vice-Provost, Planning & Budget is responsible for the University’s Schedule of Tuition Fees, as well as the Schedule of Ancillary Fees.  The Vice-Provost’s administrative interpretation of the Policy on Ancillary Fees is listed (in part) below.

Fees in Category 5.0 - Cost Recoveries are charged to all students in a particular group because they will each receive the item and/or service in question (i.e., the OT Fieldwork Manual or the COTO Prep Modules).

  • Divisions, under this section of the Policy on Ancillary Fees, may charge students for the reasonable cost of the provision of certain learning materials and services. As a matter of principle, the University through its operating budget will be responsible for the delivery of an academic program, while the student will be expected to purchase the requisite materials prescribed for the program.

Fees in Category 6.0 - Administrative User Fees and Fines are charged only to the one particular student who is receiving the item and/or service in question as it is specific to them and will not be received by all students.

  • The University Policy on Ancillary Fees established a formal schedule of user fees and fines which may be charged by divisions for the provision of certain services to students. With the single exception of placement fees, these charges are not compulsory — they are paid only by those students who make use of a particular service, at the time they make use of that service.
  • The fees and fines are established with reference to the cost of providing a particular service, or a reasonable estimate thereof.
