What are the course load requirements for international students?

International students are expected to take courses full-time during the fall and winter semesters. Full-time attendance is based on a minimum of 9 credits.
Most courses are worth three credits, so 9 credits usually equals three courses. Please note that any student who takes less than 9 credits in the Fall and Winter semester will still be charged for 9 credits.
If you are taking courses in the summer, there is no course load requirement. You can study part-time and your tuition is calculated per credit.

What is the student fee?

Every student contributes to the student union and student societies. These fees also include a public transit pass for unlimited access to nearly all local transit.

What are medical/dental fees?
