Tuition & Fees
The KPU Board of Governors has approved tuition and other
fees for each program. They vary depending upon the type and
duration of the program. Senior citizens (age 65 and older) are
not charged tuition or other fees for most courses. In addition to
KPU approved tuition and fees, students also pay fees levied by
the Kwantlen Student Association (KSA). Detailed explanations of
the KSA fees follow the fee tables.
Tuition and fees are normally stated as a rate per credit.
Therefore, the cost of a course can normally be calculated by
looking at its credit value in the Calendar Course Descriptions and
multiplying by the rate. Note in some cases, a maximum or flat
rate for a given semester or year is charged.
This fee schedule applies from 1 August 2014 to 31 July 2015.
KPU reserves the right to amend this schedule without notice.
Rates are listed in Canadian dollars.
