Tuition fees set in accordance with provincial framework

Following the tuition fee framework that has been set by the provincial government, the University of Windsor’s Board of Governors has approved an average annual tuition fee increase for domestic students that is capped at 3 percent for the 2016-17 year.

On March 28, 2013, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) announced the four-year tuition fee framework with the goal of providing stability and predictability to the sector. The provincial framework was launched in 2013-14 and, while it caps the average annual domestic student increase at 3 percent, it allows flexibility for institutions within the overall increase.

As part of the average 3 percent cap for 2016-17, tuition fee increases for full-time, undergraduate domestic students at UWindsor will range from 2 to 5 percent, depending on the program. Graduate tuition fee increases for full-time domestic students will range from 1 to 5 percent.

The University of Windsor continues to support students through a series of bursaries, scholarships and awards as well as all forms of aid and assistance.

International tuition fees are not regulated by MTCU, as universities do not receive government grants for international students. As a result, the provincial tuition fee framework does not apply to international students.

For 2016-17, undergraduate tuition fee increases for full-time international undergraduate students will range from 3.4 to 7.8 percent. Tuition fee increases for full-time international graduate students will range from 4 to 6.7 percent.

In addition to the tuition increase, the Board of Governors has also set student ancillary fees, meal plan fees and residence fees for 2016-17.
