Tuition and Refund Policy

The tuition rates listed below are effective for the 2022-23 Academic Year (July 1, 2022– June 30, 2023). Because CityU is a private, nonprofit institution, the costs associated with the operation of the university and its academic programs are supported primarily by tuition and fee revenues. When you enroll at CityU, you assume responsibility for the payment of tuition and fees, in accordance with our financial policies:

• Tuition is due on the twentieth of every month a student is enrolled, prior to the month in which his or her course begins. All fees are due at the time the cost is incurred.
• Students are responsible for purchasing course materials and textbooks separately.
• CityU reserves the right to change tuition and fee schedules for any given term without prior notice. Once a term begins, no changes in tuition or fees will be made for that student that term.

* Online transcript orders are subject to a vendor processing fee.

The tuition and fee information listed in the previous section, as noted, is in Canadian dollars. Tuition and fee are subject to change without notice.

The tuition deposit is non-refundable. Any request for a deposit refund is subject to the following conditions:

• The tuition deposit is non-refundable after the Letter of Acceptance has been issued, unless an application for a study permit has been denied, in which case the refusal letter is required along with the deposit refund request.
• The deposit will be applied towards the term(s) of enrollment at CityU. Any portion of the deposit not used in the first term will be credited to the student’s second term as a non-refundable payment towards tuition and fees.
• If a student applicant requests a deposit refund before the Letter of Acceptance has been issued, a $300 handling fee will be charged, which does not include the non-refundable CityU application fee.
• In the event of visa rejection, a student applicant should expect to wait 15 business days for a deposit refund to be processed. Such refund will be returned to the fee payer directly.

For NEW International Students who paid the required tuition deposit and received a Letter of Acceptance:

There are several ways you can pay your tuition at City University in Canada.  You can use any combination of these methods and/or a different method each term.

* Refer to the amount on the monthly payment plan agreement
