Exchange Tuition (BCom)

Students participating on an official exchange program remain enrolled at the University of Alberta and pay tuition and fees at home, instead of to the host institution. The following is a breakdown of expected tuition fees for a spring/summer (3 credit) or semester (15 credit) exchange compared to the tuition and fees in business courses at the UofA for domestic and international BCom students. This is estimated based on rates from Summer 2026 & Fall 2026 for a student admitted in Fall 2022 or later and *includes the Student Union Health & Dental plan. You can of course opt out of the SU plan as long as you have other adequate travel and medical insurance, but it can also be extended and used as travel health coverage for an exchange program.
