Tuition, Fees and Awards

Exchange tuition

  • 15 credits or equivalent full-time program fee per term, paid to UBC

Scholarships + awards

The Go Global Award $1000

All students accepted to Go Global for Exchange, Research Abroad, or Study Abroad travel programs are automatically considered for this award. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you'll be notified of your award after you're accepted to Go Global and after you get nominated to apply to the partner university.

Additional awards

Students who are eligible for awards may receive one UBC or UBC-affiliated international learning award. If you're eligible, you are always offered the highest-value award. Unless stated otherwise, you need to meet eligibility criteria set out by the University Senate regarding awards.

Check out international learning awards and eligibility.

Information for US students

If you are a student from the United States, please check the US Department of Education Lookup Tool to ensure that any partner institution you wish to attend on Exchange is Title IV ‘eligible’ for Federal Student Aid for the year in which you intend to study there. For institutions outside of the US, select “Foreign Country” from the “State” dropdown menu.

If you attend an eligible institution, then you may receive Title IV federal student loans while on Exchange.

If you attend an ineligible institution:

  • You will not be eligible for US federal student loans,
  • You may invalidate any US student aid you have previously received for your studies at UBC,
  • You may be required to immediately begin repaying your US student loans, and
  • You may not be eligible for any future US student aid for the remainder of your studies at UBC.

Additional fees

  • Each campus may have some additional student service fees which may vary according to campus
  • All students attending UC – both domestic and international — are required to have health insurance, therefore you will be automatically enrolled in the UC Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) and this health insurance premium will be charged to your UC student account
  • If you wish to be covered under a plan other than the SHIP plan, you must request a waiver (exemption) within the announced deadlines - please ensure that you research the SHIP waiver requirements to ensure that your insurance from home meets all requirements (please note that the exemption is not automatic and the exemption may not be approved)
  • UC health insurance coverage, waiver information and effective dates are available on the Reciprocal Exchanges web page - Pre-arrival Instructions - See Campus-Specific Instructions and Information
