Fees & Financial Assistance

2012 Student Fees

Tuition and incidental fees are established by the University of Toronto and are charged annually. They are subject to change. All amounts shown are in Canadian dollars. Tuition fees are also charged in the second year of the Program.

Complete details about MBiotech fees for the 2012-13 academic year can be found on the Student Accounts website. Fees for 2012-13 are TBA. We expect the amount will be published on or about April 18, 2012. Please check your ROSI account for an invoice as these are NOT mailed out.

Minimum Payment to Register - Due: May 4, 2012.
A minimum 65% of your fees (minus the $2,000 non-refundable deposit for new students) is due May 4, 2012. Fees paid after this date may incur a late payment charge. It can take 5-10 business days for your fees to be processed and to appear in your student account.

Invoices:
Invoices are not mailed. View the fees owing on your SWS (ROSi) account at www.rosi.utoronto.ca.

Program Orientation/Printing Fees

On the first day of the Program, students must bring with them $200 (cash only) for Program Orientation/Printing Fees which include, but are not limited to, printing and photocopying expenses (almost all course materials are provided this way rather than through the purchase of a textbook) and work term career prep expenses.
