FALL 2024 TO SPRING 2025 RESIDENCE FEES 

We offer a variety of price points to our students, and the fees are calibrated annually to key benchmarks such as local rental housing options, peer universities, our regional Consumer Price Index for shelter, and the provincial government’s rental increase guidelines for landlords.
