Tuition and Fees

Required HIP core courses and some HIP elective courses are tuition-free but fees do apply. Under 9 credits, only a nominal building fee applies ($6 to $20 per term prorated to number of credits).  With 9 or more credits in a term, there are additional fees and trainees should budget accordingly. Tuition and fees will be charged for all other courses. 

For the Academic Year 2009-10, tuition for HIP students in all program tracks is $500 per credit when taking a course subject to tuition, including auditing of courses. See the Registrar's web page for more details on the current tuition and fees and a refund schedule.
