The University reserves the right to change fees and refund policies without notice. Please take a moment to review the Tuition fee notes.

How are my fees calculated?

Graduate fees are based upon your admission type – Graduate students admitted as full-time students are charged full-time fees, regardless of the number of courses taken.

Graduate students admitted as part-time students are charged part-time fees, depending on the number of billing hours taken.

What is a billing hour?

For Graduate students, the billing hours for a particular course are usually equal to the academic credit value for the course; however, some exceptions can occur, such as thesis/research work and certain intensive language courses. To confirm the billing hours of your selected courses, view the Add/Drop page of Carleton Central – your billing and academic credit hours are summarized here.

How do I calculate my fees?

If you are a full-time graduate student, find your program and year of study in the full-time table above. For example, if you are first-year, full-time MBA student, your fees will be $12,287.92.

If you are a part-time graduate student, and if you know the number of billing hours you have, or plan to have, calculate your total billing hours and then find your program and year of student the part-time table above. For example, if you are a first-year, part-time MBA student in 0.5 billing hours, your fees will be $3,946.38.

In addition, the ‘Calculate Amount to Pay’ page on Carleton Central will automatically perform this calculation.

Compulsory Miscellaneous Fees

Included in the full-time and per-billing- hour fees quoted above are the following compulsory miscellaneous fees. Each is an allocation of the board-approved composite fee.

Carleton University uses a portion of every student’s fees, as approved by the Board of Governors, to support services on campus. Fees for campus services are not use-based. Students are not eligible for a refund if they do not use one or more of the campus services. The limited exceptions to this rule are noted on the main fee page.

Depending on your registration you will be assessed compulsory miscellaneous fees as follows:
