Tuition fee calculation
Tuition fees are calculated based on how far you have progressed in your University of Ottawa program.
Fees are based on the total number of units you will have completed by the end of the term you are being billed for. The scale below was changed in 2018–2019 to reflect the range of academic paths and our flexible, growing choice of programs.
- 33 or fewer units
- 33.01 to 66 units
- 66.01 to 99 units
- 99.01 to 132 units
- 132.01 to 165 units
- 165.01 units or more
Example: If you have already earned 30 course units, and are enrolled in courses worth 15 units in the fall term, the number of units used to determine your fall tuition fees will be 45 (30+15), placing you in the 33.01-to-66-unit tuition fee level.
