What's it going to cost?

Tuition and Fees

While paying for schooling goes beyond tuition, it's one of the major expenses you will encounter when setting yourself up for the upcoming year. Below is a chart of what a student taking a full course load can expect to pay in tuition and fees for a year.

Academic Costs (2011-12 Rates)
Tuition ($301 per credit)$9,331
Full-time Student Fees$525
International Student Fee$1,500
Books and Materials$1,300

Note: All students are expected to carry health insurance. International students are expected to apply for the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan upon arrival; the Student Life office will help you with this process. Alternately, you may purchase the StudentGuard program through King's.

Full-time student fees include:
Student Association Fee
Services and Facilities Fee
Student Publication Fee
WORKout Centre Fee

If you would like to be a student athlete, you can also expect to pay $250 for Athletic Team Fees to play on a team.

Tuition and Fees are due at Confirmation and Registration at the beginning of each semester. Residence fees are also due at that time.
