- All PhD students are required to pay the annual full-time rate of tuition in each of their first two years, regardless of the number of courses they are taking. Once this residency requirement has been met, they will be charged on a per-course basis for their comprehensive (CP600) and subsequently, their thesis (TH600). Should students not complete all courses during the first two years, the courses (as defined in their programme) may be completed at no additional cost (excluding comprehensive exam and thesis).
- Sponsored students who have not completed studies within the sponsorship period will be required to pay tuition fees according to their student category (i.e. Domestic or International) and programme (i.e. Arts or Science and Engineering).

Continuous registration is to be maintained (three terms per year) until completion of their thesis. Students completing thesis corrections toward the end of the current term will not be charged fees for the following term provided that all corrections are submitted and approved by the end of the first month of the new term (i.e. 30 Sept, 31 Jan, and 31 May).
- Graduate Studies students who take courses at another Ontario university (excluding Queen’s) under the Ontario Visiting Graduate Student Plan (OVGS), the OVGS fee of $2,200 per full-year course or $1,100 per-term course must be paid by the department who approves the OVGS registration form, from the tuition fee received for that student.
