Material Fees and Senior Tuition Waiver
  • Material Fees: Some classes with high material costs charge additional material fees. The revenue from these fees goes back to the relevant faculty or department to cover those costs.
  • Seniors Citizens' Tuition Waiver: Senior citizens (aged 65 or older) can request tuition waivers for credit courses. However, they are still responsible for paying material fees, laboratory fees, student fees, and other course-related charges. The Seniors’ Tuition Waiver Request form (PDF) is available to print or from the Registrar’s Office. For more information about the Senior's Tuition Waiver contact the Registrar's Office.

Feel free to ask if you need further clarification or assistance by contacting our Student Services office at 306-585-4123 or e-mail financial.services@uregina.ca. 

To request historical fees please contact webmaster@uregina.ca and allow 5 - 7 business days for processing. 

UR Fees Explained

Understanding Fees at the University of Regina

 As a student at the University of Regina, you may be required to pay various fees depending on your program, course load, and student status. Student fees are assessed partially on the number of credit hours for which a student is registered, in addition to a flat rate fee. The fees go towards the support of various campus programs and related services. A large portion of these fees go directly to several different funds and support centres as previously determined by referendum. 

General Fees

Tuition

Tuition is charged per credit hour and helps cover instructional and operational costs..

Academic Technologies Fee

Charged to all students (on-campus, off-campus, and Federated Colleges), this fee supports instructional tools, copyright licensing, and educational technologies.

Application Fee

Frequently Asked Questions - Fees

How can I make payments?

Refer to our payment methods page.

Yes, the total amount due is set as the default payment amount; however, you can overwrite this with the specific amount you intend to pay.

Tuition and fees are typically assessed at the time of registration for the Spring/Summer terms, in mid-July for the Fall term and in mid-November for the Winter term.
