In April 2022, Ryerson University changed its name to Toronto Metropolitan University, which will be implemented in a phased approach. You will see the Ryerson name across campus, online and in our official communications for a period of time. Learn more about our next chapter.
Tuition and Fees
The cost of attending university varies by Canadian citizenship or residency, Ontario residency, by program and whether you live in residence.
Ontario residents who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents can expect fees for full-time programs for the 2021/2022 academic year to range from $7,032 to $11,140.
Please note that under the current Ontario Government Tuition Fee Framework, Canadian citizens or permanent residents who reside outside of Ontario at the time of their admission may be charged a tuition fee that is up to 3% higher in 2021/2022, and up to 5% higher in 2022/2023 than students applying from Ontario in equivalent programs; these effects are cumulative. Students are encouraged to look at their chosen program of study’s domestic tuition rate in 2021/2022 for guidance.

Fees are due and payable by the start of classes and various payment methods are available.
