For information on how tuition is calculated and the exact amount for your cohort, please review FGSR's Tuition Framework for International Students.

Additional Costs

  • Non-instructional fees are assessed by the university
    Note: students can opt out of the Student's Union Health and Dental Plans.
  • Texts (these costs are not prohibitive as most texts are available in digital format, are available to borrow from the University of Alberta library system; some may be used for more than one course)

Payment Deadlines and Instructions

Fees must be paid by the specific deadline for your starting semester. Please review this page for complete information and dates.

Student Scholarships

Because the GCSL is a part-time, course-based program, students generally do not qualify for University of Alberta scholarships.
