Beginning in the 2024 academic year, domestic students who are non-Ontario residents will pay a fee differential of an additional 5%. 

All student tuition fees are published here once approved by the York University Board of Governors in the summer.

Your York student account reflects all charges (tuition, fees and on-campus rent) and credits (payments, scholarships, bursaries, etc.). It is your responsibility to review your student account to ensure that transactions are correct.
