University of Regina calculates your tuition costs, including costs per credit hour, based on several factors:

Level of study

  • Undergraduate student (bachelor’s degree)
  • Graduate student (master’s degree or higher)

Rate based on country of origin

  • Domestic / Canadian student
  • International student
  • Special rates for American students from Montana and North Dakota

Program of study

  • Your faculty
  • Your specific program of study (primarily for graduate-level programs with different tuition structures)

Financial Aid

Financial aid can help subsidize, or pay part of the costs, of your education. While merit-based financial aid rewards high academic achievement, needs-based financial aid addresses equity in education. Financial aid helps students overcome barriers to higher education.

Using financial aid to help pay for your degree program at U of R gives you more resources to invest in yourself and your future.

We encourage you to access all financial aid available to you:

  • Do not assume you won’t qualify for aid. Apply!
  • Learn to navigate the undergraduate awards system by looking through everything available.

The University of Regina also offers many scholarships and awards that provide financial help to graduate students. Once you have been accepted as a fully qualified graduate student with no conditions or holds on your admission, then you are eligible to apply for our scholarships, awards or graduate teaching assistant positions.

Find out more about graduate scholarships and awards, and the Graduate Awards Portal.

Student Loans & Grants

In Canada, federal and provincial / territorial governments provide student financial assistance through student loans and student educational grants.

Tip! Even if you do not want to take out student loans, apply for government student assistance anyway. Why? Because doing so automatically puts you into consideration for government grants. Start applying for student loans in mid-June for the fall semester.
