9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂ

9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂ’s International Tuition Guarantee will apply to new international undergraduate students beginning their studies in Fall 2023 or later in most programs across the following Faculties:

• Agriculture
• Arts & Social Sciences
• Computer Science
• Engineering
• Management
• Science

Please refer to 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂ’s fee calculator for estimates.

This information will be included in your offer of admission letter. Please refer to 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂ’s fee calculator for estimates.

Your tuition will be calculated using a program-based model. This means you will receive an annual and total program tuition guarantee, subject to the standard program length, plus 1-year.

Tuition is assessed twice per year and aligns with Fall and Winter term due dates. For students in a standard program, 50% of the annual tuition is charged in the fall term, and 50% in the winter term. Some exceptions may apply.

Here is an example using the Faculty of Science:

Your tuition will be charged at 1/4 of your annual tuition guarantee for spring and summer terms.

ITG students pay a program-based tuition amount, divided between the Fall and Winter terms, plus auxiliary and incidental fees. For co-op students in programs where the work-integrated learning component is optional, co-op fees will be charged in the term before the work term. For Commerce students where work terms are a mandatory component of their program, the co-op fees are charged in the Fall and Winter terms with their tuitions.

Your tuition fee is guaranteed for the standard length of the program, plus one year. For example, for 4-year programs, the guarantee extends for five years. Please note that exceptions may apply, and more specific information is included in your offer of admission letter.

The tuition guarantee remains intact for your standard program length, plus 1-year. If you take longer than the standard program length plus 1-year and/or exceed the maximum number of credit attempts, you may be subject to the new fee rates at the time that you exceed your guarantee period.

Additional credit attempts beyond the minimum required for your program are not included within the tuition guarantee and will be assessed with additional fees.

Generally, a leave of absence or lapse of registration during 1 term would not impact your guarantee if your program requirements can be completed within the guarantee period (standard length of the program, plus one year).

Here is an example:

Longer absences may affect the tuition guarantee and may need to be reviewed/approved by your program's Faculty. Please contact your Faculty directly for information about leave of absence procedures for your program.

Students who are a part of the international tuition guarantee, wishing to change their degree program are required to apply to their new program before being granted admission. This applies to students who are seeking to transfer to a different degree program within the same faculty. If your application for the new program is approved, you will receive a new admission offer, which will also come with a new tuition guarantee specific to the program. In certain cases, this change may involve moving from a program that is not covered by the tuition guarantee to a program where the guarantee applies.

9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ strives to keep tuition rates competitive with other Canadian universities while reflecting the high quality of the programs we offer. Some programs are more costly to deliver than others due to materials, supplies, and facilities. Demand, earning potential, and other market forces also influence program fees across the country.

At the time of admission, the standard program guarantee is applied. If transfer credits are granted, updated tuition guarantees may be issued at a later date. You can find more information about transfer credits here.

Students entering directly from high school with transfer credits from one of the higher-level curriculums listed above will have their tuition adjusted based on the number of eligible transfer credits. At the time of admission, the standard program guarantee is applied with a note indicating the total does not include consideration of transfer credits and will be adjusted accordingly. Students will receive an updated tuition guarantee after the add/drop deadline of their first semester.

To receive transfer credits, students must submit a request. Visit dal.ca/transfercredits for more information.

Yes, you are able to audit courses and, will be charged 50% of the published tuition.

International Students who have enrolled prior to the start of the International Tuition Guarantee in September who decide to change their major or degree, will not be able to benefit from international tuition guarantee, but rather be subject to annual International Tuition changes approved by the Board of Governors. This includes international students who are international Academically Dismissed, international students who are returning to 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ from a lapse in study and international students who may have been on probation. International students in these circumstances are subject to review by the Registrar’s Office for readmission.
