(Refer to www.ryerson.ca/studentguide/MoneyMatters.html for a complete explanation and breakdown of fees charged.)

There are two different academic fee rates for Ryerson International Students:

• the Regular Fee Rate for students who are Canadian Citizens, Permanent Residents, and who are specifically exempted by government regulation from the International Fee Rate; and
• the International Fee Rate for students on Student Visas, Visitor Visas, other Visas, and students who have not provided or are unwilling to provide documentary proof of exempt status to the Enrollment Services and Student Records Office.

If students wish to be considered under one of the approved exempt categories, they must provide the official documentation necessary to support such a request. Original documents must be presented each term of enrollment. Photocopies of documents are not acceptable. All documents presented in support of consideration for exemption, or if requested as proof of status, must be submitted to the Enrollment Services and Student Records Office, Room POD-70, enter through the Library Building. If students are unable to provide the required documentation before paying tuition fees, they will be required to pay the International Fee Rate. Official documentation must be presented by October 1 for the Fall term, and February 1 for the Winter term in order to be eligible for tuition fees re-assessment.

Payment of the University Health Insurance Plan is compulsory for all International Students regardless of approved exempt categories.

If the acceptable documentation for exemption from the International Fee Rate contains an expiry date, it is the student’s responsibility to bring updated documentation to Enrollment Services and Student Records no later than ten (10) working days before the expiry date on the original documentation. This must be done to retain exemption status. Documentation explaining all exemption categories, is available from the Enrollment Services and Student Records Office, Room POD-70, enter through the Library Building.
