York University tuition and fees for 2026-27

York assigns a fee cohort when you enter a program. The year of entry helps set the course rate. A first-year family should therefore select the new-entry table rather than copy a returning student's bill. Our detailed Arts and Science rows use students entering on September 9, 2026 or later. That is the FW26 cohort in the 2026-27 schedule. It isn't a confirmed 2027-28 tuition promise.

Regular Keele Arts and Science have the same domestic per-credit tuition in these tables. Their international rates differ. Our calculation for a 30-credit regular Arts year is $208.01 x 30 = $6,240.30 in the Ontario band. The other Canadian band gives $236.08 x 30 = $7,082.40. A move, a status change or a second program can require York to review which fee rule applies.

Professional programs have their own rates. York says a double major with a professional program is assessed at the professional rate. A major/minor uses the major's rate. Design uses a program-based charge rather than the usual course formula. The York university guide explains the choices, and the official fee lookup connects each faculty, campus and degree to the right schedule.

York's recruitment page rounds most Arts and Sciences tuition to about $6,200 domestic and $40,000 international. These are school estimates for a full 2026-27 fall/winter load. They don't contradict a more exact calculation for one named degree. Science's separate international rate also shows why a broad planning row shouldn't become an exact figure for every program in that group.

Business is another place where the degree name matters. LA&PS Commerce and the Schulich BBA have different international rates and supplementary slates. Computer Science has its own Lassonde schedule too. Engineering's recruitment estimate uses 36 first-year credits. The exact Ontario rate gives $325.44 x 36 = $11,715.84, our calculation. That differs from the broad $10,600 domestic estimate. Ask York which assessed load and rate apply to your offer.

Keep your comparison notes next to the program in the offer. Our York Engineering admission guide and York Psychology requirements page cover different academic routes. They can use the broader recruitment amounts as labelled estimates. This page adds the detailed fee basis so you can distinguish tuition from the student charges and living costs that follow it.

York calls its non-academic student charges supplementary fees. For regular Keele LA&PS in the selected cohort, the published rate is $43.95 per credit. Our calculation for 30 credits is $43.95 x 30 = $1,318.50. This sits above tuition. A reduced course load changes a per-credit charge, but it can also affect insurance, aid and award eligibility. Check those rules before using fewer credits as a cost-saving step.

The supplementary rate contains $31.10 in centrally collected ancillary charges and $12.85 in student levies per credit. These are parts of the total, not extra lines to add again. The university portion supports recreation and student services. The levy portion supports student organisations and campus services. The fee schedule lists each component, which helps you understand a total that may otherwise look like one unnamed fee.

Health and dental doesn't sit inside that $43.95 in our selected Arts table. It appears as an additional charge. Some courses can also add material or lab charges. We haven't inserted a made-up book allowance into the worked example. The account assessment is the place to check your actual course-specific amounts. Keep a separate books and supplies line in your own budget even when an exact amount isn't yet known.

The York Federation of Students, or YFS, publishes a $349.36 full-time health-and-dental premium for 2026-27. It's an annual benefit-year charge, not a monthly bill. Its eligibility rule uses at least 15 credits across fall/winter, or at least nine credits for winter-only study. Most eligible undergraduates are enrolled automatically, but YFS says to confirm the actual account charge before using the benefits.

York's recruitment page still uses an approximate $359 health figure and $1,151 for combined international insurance. York International now confirms $948 for basic UHIP from September 1, 2026 to August 31, 2027. UHIP means University Health Insurance Plan. It's separate from extended health and dental. Those newer named plan amounts make the broad recruitment insurance estimate unsuitable as an exact current total.

YFS allows an opt-out with comparable extended cover. Ontario public health insurance and UHIP alone don't qualify as that alternate cover. The clear Fall 2026 opt-out deadline is October 16, 2026. Its winter-only opt-out window runs January 1 to February 5, 2027. One winter opt-in sentence mixes 2027 and 2026 dates; confirm an opt-in with YFS. An application confirmation isn't a promise that a refund has been approved.

York's rooms are priced for eight months in the current schedule. A Founders double costs $9,072, with a dining plan required. Our York residence cost guide compares Keele and Glendon choices. Pond has a $13,676 suite price, but first-year students normally can't select it as a preference. Accessibility exceptions are reviewed separately, so it shouldn't set your standard first-year room budget.

Entry costs $6,450, Standard $7,180 and Premium $7,930 for 2026-27. These full prices include the operation fee as well as dining dollars. Don't price Entry using only the $4,600 Meal Plan balance. Optional Convenience costs $4,330 and is for people outside rooms with a mandatory plan. A suite with optional dining still needs a realistic food budget if you decide not to buy a plan.

Housing adds an $80 activity and administration fee. You pay a $250 application charge, with $150 credited after move-in. The $750 room deposit is also credited after move-in. Our calculation for the net application cost is $250 - $150 = $100. Those credits reduce later charges; they don't remove the need to have the full payment ready when applying or accepting a room.

The example uses an Ontario regular Keele Arts entrant taking 30 credits. Tuition and supplementary fees come from that exact fee table. The student keeps the YFS plan and chooses a Founders double with Entry dining. They move in, so the stated application credit applies. The example includes the separate activity fee. It doesn't include basic international insurance because this student is in the domestic Ontario category.

Our calculation is $6,240.30 + $1,318.50 + $349.36 + $9,072 + $6,450 + $80 + $100 = $23,610.16. This covers the listed study, insurance and housing choices for 2026-27. Books and personal spending are outside it. We haven't subtracted an entrance scholarship or future job income. An award can reduce what you must fund, but only after its amount and conditions are confirmed.

The $300 registration deposit is part of tuition, and the $750 room deposit is credited toward housing. Adding either again would overstate the example cost. They still affect your payment schedule. Record both the final cost and the earlier cash you need in the university cost calculator. Your own course load, campus and room must replace our example choices before you rely on the result.

New domestic undergraduates pay a one-time $300 non-refundable registration deposit after starting course enrolment. The standing table bases the due date on when you add your first fall or full-year course. Start before June 1 and pay by June 10. Start in June and pay by July 10. Start in July and pay by August 10. Start on or after August 1 and pay within five days.

Those month-and-day rules aren't labelled Fall 2027 in the source. Check your new-cycle instructions rather than attaching an assumed year. Missing the deposit can block further enrolment and remove you from courses. York says an international undergraduate pays a $2,000 acceptance deposit before course access. The published study-permit-refusal exception allows a deposit refund. Protected persons and convention refugees use the domestic deposit under the stated rule.

The dated 2026-27 calendar puts fall tuition on September 10, 2026 and winter tuition on January 10, 2027. Full-year tuition and housing can be split into two halves under the account policy. The health-plan payment has a separate statement rule, usually the tenth of the following month. Make a bank payment early: a major Canadian bank can take up to four business days to deliver it to York.

If you can't meet the due date, York asks you to contact the student-support office for your campus. Its Debt Repayment Agreement can set a plan for active undergraduates. The published requirement is at least 60% of the minimum payment upfront and a plan to clear the rest within one term. York must approve it. Sending a smaller payment on your own doesn't create a valid agreement.

The standing interest rate is 1.09% per month on overdue amounts. York names an OSAP exception: completing the application and supporting documents by the deadline can protect September, January or May from interest while funding is pending. That condition matters. It isn't a blanket pause for every unfinished aid application. Read your actual minimum payment and ask about any charge you don't understand.

York's active-student hold thresholds are $1,500 overdue for domestic fees and $3,500 for international fees. A hold can limit adding or changing courses after the stated deadlines. You can still drop courses. An inactive student can face a full-payment requirement to return. Getting advice before the balance grows makes it easier to keep course plans and payment obligations aligned; don't wait for an enrolment block to discover the rule.

York's standard Fall 2026 course-fee table gives a full refund through September 15. The percentage then falls in weekly steps. It reaches 50% from October 7 to 13 and zero from November 11. Standard winter courses use January 11, February 2 to 8 and March 9, 2027 for those same points. Check the actual term code: Design, Education and shorter sessions can use different tables.

The academic calendar lets you drop a standard fall course without a grade until November 10, 2026. Winter uses March 8, 2027. These dates aren't full-refund deadlines. A later withdrawal can leave a W on the transcript under the calendar's rule. Not attending doesn't remove the course or its charges. Use the enrolment system and check both the financial result and academic record after the change.

Residence has a separate cancellation contract. The current Keele policy names July 15, 2026 for a fall reservation and November 15, 2026 for winter. Selecting a room can forfeit the deposit even before those dates. The cancellation table lists $900 forfeited for a booked room, while application and room payments add to $250 + $750 = $1,000, our calculation. Ask Housing how your credits affect that figure rather than guessing a refund.

Withdrawing from residence after moving in can leave the rest of the contract payable. The housing page names a reduced $500-plus-prorated-charge rule if the space is reassigned. That's separate from a course refund. For tuition, account credits are first applied against remaining debts; a cash refund requires a credit balance after charges are cleared. Changing study plans can also change aid, so review the funding result before spending a refund.

OSAP is the Ontario Student Assistance Program. York's first-year financial guide says the registration deposit must be paid before it can confirm enrolment for the funding release. Applying for aid doesn't pay that deposit for you. The 2026-27 academic calendar recommends July 15 for fall/fall-winter applications and documents, and November 18 for winter-only. Those are current-cycle early targets, not Fall 2027 application dates.

York's standing domestic automatic entrance bands are $1,000 at 80% to 84.9%, $1,500 at 85% to 89.9%, $2,000 at 90% to 94.9% and $3,500 at 95% or higher. Final grades confirm the award. Renewal needs an 8.0 grade point average over at least 24 credits in the academic year. No separate award application is required for that band, but other bursaries and scholarships have their own forms.

International automatic awards have a dated 2026-27 grid. Its 90% distinction tier offers $15,000 in first year, but excludes Computer Science, Cybersecurity and Engineering except named Fall 2026 Ontario-curriculum entrants. The 80% to 89.9% tier gives $10,000 and the 75% to 79.9% tier gives a one-time $5,000. These are prior-cycle award facts for Fall 2027 planning. We don't assume the same new-cycle eligibility or payment.

York's dedicated international award page gives January 27, 2027 for the President's International Scholarship of Excellence application and February 4 for nominees. The broad scholarship page instead says January 26, 2027. It also keeps a 2026-27 heading and January 26, 2026 reminder. The incoming-awards page itself contains both student dates. These official dates conflict. Ask York which applies. Its separate Fall 2027 four-year housing guarantee for direct-entry high-school students is confirmed. A guarantee doesn't pay the rent. Our York financial-aid guide owns award selection and application steps.

The sources checked on October 16, 2026 don't confirm 2027-28 tuition, supplementary fees, insurance, rooms or dining prices. The new academic payment/refund calendar, yearless domestic award-form dates and international automatic grid also need a cycle check. Named awards can already have dated deadlines; check the chosen listing. Recheck February 1, 2027 and before paying a deposit. Use the actual fee table and offer together before treating any planning figure as your bill.
