There are two different fees schedules for these programs. The fee you pay depends upon the session of your admission to the Faculty of Arts and Science. Some students pay a flat program fee, and others pay fees per course. The fee structure is the same for both specialists and majors. If your course load is less than 4.0 FCE's, your fees will be calculated on a per-course basis.
Fees assessed by program follow a program refund schedule.
Check these carefully. You will be sent a new Fees Invoice for the Summer session once the recalculation is done. The fee per course is higher than the Arts and Science course fee for other programs. This fee is charged on all courses taken while you are enrolled in the specialist or major.
