EdD Fees
The following fees are effective for courses starting September 1, 2012 to August 31, 2013. All fees are quoted in Canadian dollars and are subject to change. Academic-related fees are exempt from the Federal Goods and Services Tax (G.S.T.).

The EdD fees consist of a yearly program fee and individual course fees. The annual program fee may be paid in two instalments (see the example below). Individual course fees are due by the course registration deadline.
