Tuition Fees
Tuition rates are subject to change each academic year. Please access Tuition and fees at mcgill.ca/student-accounts/tuition-fees. The annual rates of tuition and fees are updated as soon as they are known.
Students in on-line programs must self-declare for each registered term, where they will be located during that term, on Minerva under the Student Menu > Location of Study - Online (distance) program. Students in one of these online programs will be notified by email that the Minerva form for the upcoming term is open and can be accessed for completion. Students studying within the province will be subject to the rates established by the government for in-province students. Students who are located outside Quebec while studying, will be subject to deregulated tuition rates.

Quebec Students and Non-Quebec (Canadian or Permanent Resident) Students
In accordance with provincial government requirements, students must provide proof that they qualify for assessment of fees at the Quebec or non-Quebec Canadian rates; see mcgill.ca/legaldocuments for details. In certain cases, non-Quebec Canadian students pay the same rate of tuition as Quebec students—for further information about these exceptions, see the Student Accounts website at mcgill.ca/student-accounts/tuition-fees/general-tuition-and-fees-information/tuition-fee-exemptions.
International Students
International Students
Exemption from international tuition fees may be claimed by students in certain categories. Such students, if eligible, are then assessed at the Quebec student rate (certain categories may be assessed at the Canadian tuition rate). These categories and the required documentation for each of them may be viewed at mcgill.ca/legaldocuments. Further information regarding these reductions of international tuition fees by the Quebec government is available on the Student Accounts website under Tuition & Fees > General Tuition and Fees Information.
