2020-2021 Ancillary fees

The following are ancillary fees for graduate students studying in both flat-fee and fee-per-credit programs in the 2020-2021 academic year. These ancillary fees commence September 2020.

Fees vary for full-time and part-time graduate students, as indicated below.

Ancillary fees are in addition to tuition fees (domestic and international).

Please note:
