Exchange Tuition (BCom)

Students participating on an official exchange program remain enrolled at the University of Alberta and pay tuition and fees at home, instead of to the host institution. The following is a breakdown of expected tuition fees for a spring/summer (3 credit) or semester (15 credit) exchange compared to the tuition and fees in classes at the UofA for domestic and international BCom students. This is estimated based on rates from Summer 2024 & Fall 2024 for a student admitted in Fall 2022 or later and includes the Student Union Health & Dental plan. This plan can of course be opted out of, but can also be extended and used as travel health coverage for an exchange program.
