Non-Degree Studies tuition and fees

Your tuition fees are assessed on a per-credit basis and depend on the level of the course.

Most undergraduate courses are 3 or 6 credits, with some exceptions. You can check the Course Schedule or Course Search for specific course information, including number of credits, when and where the course is offered, and who the course instructor is.

Like degree-seeking students, you are assessed student fees. While some are prorated for the number of credits you are registered in, most are assessed on a one-time basis. There are some student fees that you can choose to opt out of.

Non-Degree Studies students are held to the same policies surrounding registration and tuition as degree seeking students at UBC. It is the student’s responsibility to periodically check their student account for any changes and to ensure that their registration and finances are up to date.

Senior citizens

BC residents 65 years of age and older who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents normally do not pay tuition, application, or student fees.

However, fees may be assessed for programs within Dentistry, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, or any faculty or school where existing facilities and resources are limited.
