Fees

Application Fees

The ORPAS processing fee is $180 plus an institutional levy of $90 for each university selection. All fees and levies are non-refundable.

The institutional fees, collected by ORPAS but remitted to the universities, assist the universities in covering a portion of the costs associated with the admissions assessment. Fees are assessed by university, not by the number of programs selected at each university.

The total fee, including the ORPAS processing fee, is as follows (all amounts are in Canadian dollars):

All fees are non-refundable. Applications will not be forwarded to the universities until full payment has been received by the OUAC. Partial payments will not be accepted. Each transcript request costs $12, with some exceptions.

For more information on application fees, including accepted methods of payments and deadlines, visit the ORPAS Fee page.

Tuition Fees

Students are required to pay tuition fees as established by the Governing Council and set out in the Schedule of Fees. Tuition fees normally consist of two parts: academic fees (including instruction and use of library) and incidental fees (including Hart House, Health Services, athletics and student organizations). Students can register by making the minimum payment as outlined on their invoice or register without payment based on a provincial student loan or major award.

The MScPT program is two years in length, and fees are charged in each year of the program. Here is a breakdown of the tuition costs for both the 24 month MScPT program and the one year MScPT Advanced Standing Option.

Fees for the 2012-13 academic year

Students are required to make a minimum first payment in order to register for classes. This minimum payment is usually 65% of the total balance owing for any given academic year, plus any outstanding fees from the previous academic year. If not paid in full, any outstanding account balance is subject to a monthly service charge of 1.5% compounded (19.56% per annum). For charges associated with the 2012-2013 academic year, the service charge is first assessed as of November 15th and as of the 15th of every month thereafter until paid in full. Outstanding charges on your account from prior sessions are subject to a service charge as of the 15th of every month until paid in full.

Method of Payment

Students who are eligible to register can print out an invoice from ROSI. Information on where and how to make a payment is provided by Student Accounts.

Late Registration Fee

Any student who registers after the last date for her/his normal registration in the Department of Physical Therapy is required to pay a late registration fee of $44 plus $5 per additional day to a maximum of $94.

Financial Aid & Awards

Students may have access to a variety of funding sources to finance their education, including provincial loan programs, lines of credit, savings, part-time earnings, awards, and bursaries. For most students, it will be necessary to incur some debt, through access to government student assistance programs and a private line of credit with a financial institution. Additional information on financial aid and awards is available on our website.
