In the Spring 2026 schedule those per-term maxima run from CAD 23,598 to CAD 35,561, with most regular programmes at CAD 27,010 and the co-op engineering and computing programmes at CAD 34,504 to 35,561. The yearly figures here are two study terms at those rates, which is what a full academic year of study costs; a co-op student takes further work terms, each with its own tuition and a co-op fee of CAD 836. Incidental fees of roughly CAD 900 to 1,29
