Fee Information at a Glance

These pages provide information about 2021-2022 fees for graduate programs at the University of Alberta. (See below for notes to prospective students and international students.)

To calculate the total fees owed, combine the instructional fees associated with your program with the non-instructional fees (most of them mandatory) that you need to pay.

  1. Learn about instructional fees by following this link;
  2. Access information about non-instructional fees by clicking here.

Please note that it is not possible to include fee information for all programs and courses on these pages, as some have a non-standard fee structure. If you are unsure about your program's fee structure, please consult your department (this non-standard fees list, while helpful, may not be comprehensive).

Students can view their Official Fee Assessments in real time on Bear Tracks:

  • Financials - Fee assessment (to view courses and associated fees);
  • Financials - Account Details (to view fee types and payments received).

Check Your Fee Assessment Regularly

It is very important to check your Bear Tracks account regularly. Due to system configuration and changes, student fees may be recalculated throughout the term. Please notify gradfees@ualberta.ca as soon as possible if you are concerned about your fee assessment being either too high or too low in value.

Payment and Deadlines

Students are responsible for finding out the correct amount of fees owing and paying this amount on or before the fee payment deadline.

Student Tuition Payment Options are available on the Financial Services website. For more information on Fees Payment, see the Fees Payment Guide of the University Calendar.

Graduate students appointed to teaching or research assistantships will have outstanding tuition balances automatically deducted from their paycheques. See the Payroll Deductions section for further details.
