Tuition Fees
Post-secondary tuition and fees are established by the College in accordance with requirements from the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. Tuition fees support the cost of academic program delivery and the general operations of the College.
Tuition is not specific to location or mode of delivery (in-person or online); it is primarily for the instruction, assessment and administration of program delivery, which is ongoing.
Tuition Costs Per Semester
Students are required to pay or arrange to pay the balance of their tuition fees before registering for classes.* Arranging to pay means securing a source of payment before registration begins through options such as OSAP funding, a Humber Payment Plan, Scholarship/Bursary, RESP or third-party sponsorship. Students are responsible for making sure the arranged funding is deposited into their Humber Student Account to pay for the full balance of tuition fees as planned by the start of the term.
Once students have paid the mandatory tuition deposit for the semester, the remaining tuition balance owing can be found by accessing MyHumber’s Student tab and selecting Student Account & Fees > Payment and Account Centre. You will be redirected to the PayMyTuition portal to make your payment.
Net Cost Tool on MyHumber
To view what has been paid or arranged to be paid for the term and what is still owing, students can also use the Net Cost tool on MyHumber > Student > Student Account & Fees > Net Cost.
If the tuition balance has not yet been posted, students can view an estimated total by term on the program page.
*Students who have arranged to pay tuition fees (e.g. third-party sponsorship or payment plan) must ensure their account is paid in full as planned. Default in payment may result in timetable removal, meaning the student will be removed from all courses in a specific term.
International Fee Exemption
An international fee exemption permits an international student to pay domestic tuition fees, if eligible. Proof may be required every semester to maintain an international fee exemption.

Students can take note of important dates by term using the academic calendar.
Sponsorship and Third-Party Billing
A student’s tuition and fees can be billed directly to a sponsor such as an Indigenous community, employer or government agency, permitting that sponsor and student to enter a ‘third-party contract’ with Humber.
Both the sponsor and student are responsible for completing the necessary steps to confirm the contract by fee due dates to ensure the student's account and enrolment are not affected.
Refunds
It is the student’s responsibility to consult the appropriate advisor and become familiar with Humber’s Academic Regulations, including course and program refund policies.
Consult an Advisor Before Program or Course Withdrawal
Students who are considering a program/course withdrawal are strongly advised to consult their program coordinator, in addition to consulting with a representative in the Office of the Registrar.
OSAP recipients should check with a Financial Aid Representative, as withdrawing may affect their current or future OSAP status. If a student withdraws after the semester’s refund date, they are responsible for any outstanding fees and for repayment of OSAP funds to the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC), if applicable.
International students should consult with the International Centre, as withdrawing may affect their status in Canada.
