Tuition & Fees

All Dalhousie students who wish to change their degree programs are required to apply to their new program before being granted admission.

This applies to students who are seeking to transfer to a different degree program within the same faculty. If your application for the new program is approved, you will receive a new admission offer, which will also come with a revision of your tuition and fees based on current rates specific to the program.

***For international students, this change may involve moving from a program that is not covered by the tuition guarantee to a program where the guarantee applies.

Tuition fees are assessed at the approved rate for each course selected rather than the degree to which you have been admitted. For example, if you are in a Computer Science degree but take an Arts course, you will be charged Arts tuition for this course.

The U-Pass fee can be opted-out if the opt-out eligibility requirements are met. Please see https://www.dal.ca/campus_life/UPass/opting-out.html for more information.

For further information or if you have questions concerning the DSU health and dental plan please email dsuhlth@dal.ca or call 902-494-2850.

Students are expected to register and pay the term fees on or before the specified registration dates.

Refunding under the International Tuition Guarantee model be based on the full withdrawal of a student on or before the add/drop deadline across all of the relevant programs. The withdrawal will trigger a review of the student’s account and courseload to date and any adjustments for prior terms will be made before refunding tuition.​ Withdrawals for compassionate reasons will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

International Students who have enrolled prior to the start of the International Tuition Guarantee in September who decide to change their major or degree, will not be able to benefit from international tuition guarantee, but rather be subject to annual International Tuition changes approved by the Board of Governors. This includes international students who are international Academically Dismissed, international students who are returning to Dalhousie from a lapse in study and international students who may have been on probation. International students in these circumstances are subject to review by the Registrar’s Office for readmission.
