The cost of a university education is a combination of tuition fees, books and other educational supplies, and living expenses.

Fees are composed of tuition (academic) fees and compulsory incidental (non-academic) fees. Basic student tuition fees vary by program and faculty (see Tuition Fees for detailed information) but it is helpful to have a general idea of the educational costs you can expect in your first year.  Amounts are current as of 2010:

• $5,450 and up for tuition fees, depending on your program and campus
• $1,417.40 and up for incidental and ancillary fees
• $1,000 and up for books and supplies
• $4,596 to $14,148 or more for residence, depending on where you choose to live, whether you purchase a meal plan, or buy and prepare your own food.

Other Living expenses may include:

Transportation - Information on current rates for public transit in Toronto can be obtained from the Toronto Transit Commission. If you come from outside Toronto, you should consider the cost of transportation between your home city and Toronto

Toiletries and personal care items

Telephone/Internet - whether you live in residence on campus or in housing off-campus, these will be additional to room and board or rent

Other expenses vary according to what you can afford and personal requirements or preference.

Use the Budget Tool to help you manage your finances for the year.

The University of Toronto is unique among Canadian universities in providing assurance of financial support , and in promising that students will have access to financial counselling.

On the Admissions and Awards Website, you will find information that could be of assistance to you when you begin to plan how to finance your university education. You will also find information about Canadian and U.S. government student financial assistance programs.

We hope you will find this website useful. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact the Admissions and Awards Office.
