Program application fee and tuition deposit

Paying the application fee

Tuition deposit
Once admitted, you need to pay a non-refundable $200 tuition deposit ($C5000 for international applicants) to confirm your seat. It must be received within the timeframe indicated in your admission letter/email; otherwise, you risk losing your seat.
