When your resources are more than your expenses, the remaining balance is a negative value, implying you have a solid financial plan for the academic year.

The remaining balance is a positive value when your expenses are more than your resources. This is an indication of unmet financial need. It is recommended that you explore all resources such as OSAP, parental/spousal contributions, employment, awards, and bursaries to help finance your education and living expenses.

Course load calculator

*Fees are subject to change. Check your student account for updates.

**The fee estimator generates results based on full/part-time course load and/or tuition stream averages. If there is a discrepancy with the course load, go by the Academic Calendar.

*Disclaimer: Always cross-reference these results with your Mosaic student account. If there is a discrepancy with the calculator, go by your account summary.

Tuition fees

Tuition is charged at a board-approved base rate per unit that is specific to each faculty.
A typical course is 3 units, however, some faculties (i.e. Engineering, Nursing, etc.) offer courses that are weighted higher, and therefore, worth more than 3 units. The last digit of the course code indicates the unit weighting for a particular course (e.g. ENGLISH 1A03).

Tuition fee breakdown

Supplementary fees

Supplementary fees are mandatory fees charged in addition to your tuition. These fees help support campus-wide services.
