Financial planning

Before you arrive in 51³Ô¹Ï, you need to think about how you are going to pay for your tuition, student fees and living expenses. Spend some time exploring your options and considering how you will manage your finances.

Tuition & student fees

Students who do not have Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status are required to pay international tuition fees at UVic.

Estimating your tuition

The tuition fee estimator is a helpful tool for predicting tuition and student fees. Your actual tuition and student fees will depend on your program of study and your course registration.

Tuition and student fees do not include the cost of textbooks, course materials and other supplies associated with your program. You will not receive invoices for your tuition and student fees. 

Paying your tuition

Once you have registered for a term, a summary of your tuition and student fees will be available in your UVic student account.

Be sure to pay your tuition and student fees on time.

A penalty service charge will be added for late payments. Failure to pay tuition and student fees on time may also result in cancellation of course registration and denial of services.

Exchange students from UVic partner institutions

  • you will pay tuition fees to your home university, while studying at UVic
  • you will be responsible for paying all other student fees directly to UVic (e.g. MTMI fee)
