Course Based Students and Thesis Based Students Admitted prior to Fall 2011

Graduate students in course-based programs and Graduate students in Thesis based programs (admitted prior to Fall 2011) registered in Spring and Summer are assessed the following fees:

  • instructional fees at the Spring/Summer rate
  • non-instructional fees at the Spring/Summer rate

Instructional Fees

Every course at the University of Alberta is assigned fee index units, represented by the (fi X) beside each course listed in Bear Tracks and the University Calendar.

The instructional fees for Spring or Summer courses taken for credit are determined by multiplying the fee index units of each course by the Spring/Summer graduate fee index value approved annually by the Board of Governors.

Sample calculations:
Spring/Summer 2012 Graduate Fee Index (fi) = $101.54     * = units of course weight
ENGL 680 *3 for credit course
fi 6
 $101.54 x 6 = $609.24  
EDPY 545 *6 for credit course
fi 12
 $101.54 x 12 = $1,218.48
