Calculate your fees with the undergraduate fee estimator.
Tuition fees: 2023-24
- Tuition is charged at a board-approved base rate per unit that is specific to each faculty.
- Tuition fees are charged by unit. A typical course = 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.
- A typical full course load is 5 courses in both the fall and winter terms, equaling 15 units / term or 30 units / academic year
- Consult the Undergraduate Calendar for a complete listing of courses by program.
- Fees are subject to change.
- Fees are scheduled to be posted to student’s accounts the first week of August.
Any cancelled units will result in cancellation fees. Don’t forget to review the Terms and Conditions of Enrolment before you begin to add courses.
Out of Province students are identified by:
- Education Source: Students who are Canadian citizens and Permanent Resident and have completed high school outside of Ontario.
- Medicine (MD & PA) students are identified by application address information from another Canadian province/territory and citizenship status of Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident.
You are considered an Ontario resident if you:
- Have always resided in Ontario or have lived in Ontario for 12 consecutive months, not including time as a full-time post-secondary student.
- Are married and Ontario is the most recent province in which your spouse resided for 12 consecutive months, not including time as a full-time post-secondary student.

Where parents/stepparents are separated or divorced, this requirement refers to the residency of the parent with whom you normally reside, or who financially supports you.

Jay Treaty Fee Adjustment for Indigenous Students
McMaster University is referencing their responsibilities under the Jay Treaty of 1794 by extending domestic (Ontario) tuition fees to Indigenous students whose ancestral homelands are within the United States or another Canadian province.
Who is eligible?
Students who meet the following definition of Indigenous and whose Indigenous homeland is in the United Status, or another Canadian province are invited to complete this application for a fee adjustment.
There are many definitions of Indigenous: For the purposes of ancestry verification on Turtle Island we define Indigenous as: “First Nation, Metis and Inuit”. We extend this to the United States (i.e., verification of identities including American Indians/Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians).
Please voluntarily self-identify as:
- First Nations (Status/Non-Status)
- Métis
- Inuit
- American Indians/Native Americans
- Alaska Natives
- Native Hawaiians
How to apply?
The Indigenous Student Services office will submit a Service Request in Mosaic to collect your supporting document and complete the identity verification process. Please contact the Sr. Advisor, Indigenous Student Services for assistance on how to apply for a fee adjustment at indigsc@mcmaster.ca.

Supplementary fees: 2023-24
We all support the McMaster community! This includes infrastructure, programming and services for full-time and part-time students. Our supplementary fees are not user fees but similar to a tax, collected to sustain our community’s success.
- These mandatory fees are paid to McMaster along with other fees and will be refunded separately.
- They are voted on by students through a student referendum.
- They go to support programs and services available to students of both part-time and full-time status.
- They are broken down into flat fees and per-unit fees.
- Students are encouraged to enrol in courses for the full academic year (Fall and Winter) at the same time so their supplemental fees are applied correctly.
- If you are covered under a parent or work health and dental plan, you can opt out of MSU plans from September 1 to 30 through a separate online process. Visit the MSU website for details. Health and dental fees are the only fees you can opt out of.
Fees are subject to change up to the payment deadline dates. Please monitor your student account.
University Policy on Supplementary Fees: If at any time during a fall/winter session, you enrol in 18 units or more, you become an MSU student. You are then entitled the services of an MSU student and are responsible for the MSU supplementary fees, even if you drop back down under 17 units at a later date in the same fall/winter session.
Please visit the MSU website regarding any inquires regarding part-time vs. full-time.
**Note: Fees listed as “N/A” under winter 2024 and spring 2024 are charged as a one time fee in the fall 2023 column.
