How MEng/MEng CEM fees are charged
M.Eng and M.EngCEM students are charged a Program Fee, based on their program (MEng, MEngCEM), and status (Full-Time – FT, Extended Full-Time – EFT, or Part-Time – PT). The Program Fee is not charged per course.
Example: A FT MEng student will pay the same fees for 1 course or 5 courses in a session.
Fees are assessed per academic year. The Fall 2024-Winter 2025 fees invoice that you will see in mid-July includes fees for Summer 2025. If you choose not to take courses in Summer 2025, you will not receive a reduction in fees.
In addition to Program Fees, students are charged incidental fees and a UHIP fee (International students only).
Minimum Degree Fee and Balance of Degree Fee
The Minimum Degree Fee is the minimum amount of Program Fees you will pay for your M.Eng/ MEngCEM program and is equivalent to one year of full-time MEng/MEngCEM program fees. If you pay less than the minimum degree fee by the time you graduate, a Balance of Degree Fee is charged at graduation.
Example: For 2022-2023, FT domestic M.Eng program fees are $13,380. If you paid $12,000 in program fees by the end or your program, you would be charged a $1,380 balance of degree fee at graduation.
Balance of Degree Fee = Minimum Degree Fee –Program Fees paid
You might pay more than the minimum program fee if:
- you are FT and take more than 3 sessions to complete the degree,
- You are EFT and take more than 6 sessions to complete the degree,
- You are PT and take more than 3 years to finish the degree.

In summary…
The EFT is a good option if you are not sure you will finish your 10 courses in 12 months. You are still considered a FT student by OSAP (Ontario Student loans) and Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
You can still take a full course load and graduate when you finish your 10 courses, but keep in that if you finish in less than 2 years, you will be charged a balance of degree fee.
The EFT is not a good option if you think you might take more than two years to finish the degree. PT might make more sense for you in that case. Remember, you cannot switch out of the EFT once you are in it.
