Notes:

Grandparented International Students: All continuing international students, who began their studies prior to the 2018-19 academic year, will be subject to inflationary only increases of 4% for the 2019-20 academic year. The inflationary rate of increase will apply until the student obtains their current credential or does not register for two consecutive sessions (one year) and must apply to reregister to resume their studies (see Returning Students). Please see the UVic Calendar for more detail on tuition fees for Grandparented International Students.

Mandatory Temporary Medical Insurance: The guard.me@UVic plan provides emergency medical insurance coverage for international students who are new to UVic. This plan covers required medical services to address new and unexpected illness or injury. Most new international students are automatically enrolled in the guard.me@UVic plan upon registration at UVic. For the 2021-22 academic year, the cost is $265.
