The EdD fees consist of a yearly program fee and individual course fees. The annual program fee may be paid in two instalments (see the example below). Individual course fees are due by the course registration deadline.
The following fees are effective for the period of April 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010. All fees are quoted in Canadian dollars and are subject to change. Academic-related fees are exempt from the Federal Goods and Services Tax (G.S.T.). G.S.T. is added to all other goods and services, for example, workshops, some publications, self-help seminars, and Athabasca University promotional sales items. Please note that fees are the same for both Canadian and International students.
If your tuition is being sponsored by a company or other organization, we will require a Letter of Guarantee.
