3 Tuition Fees at the University of Toronto Tuition fees at the University of Toronto are determined in accordance with the University's Tuition Fee Policy (Appendix A1), the Statement of Commitment Regarding International Students (Appendix A2) and the Provincial Government's Tuition Framework. In presenting this Tuition schedule, the University reaffirms its commitment to student aid and its accessibility statement: No student offered admission to a program at the University of Toronto should be unable to enter or complete the program due to lack of financial means.. The Provincial Tuition Framework (2013-14 to 2018-19 ). In 2013, the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development (MAESD) announced its Tuition Fee Framework for 2013-14 to 2016-17. The framework allows for some program variability within an overall average annual Tuition fee increase of 3%.

4 In December 2016, the Ministry announced the extension of the current framework for two additional years. The framework is accompanied by an accessibility guarantee which requires a specific amount to be set aside by universities for student aid. A full overview of financial assistance available to students is included in the 2016-17 Annual report on Student Financial Support, which accompanies this report through governance.

6 Beginning in 1998-99, the University of Toronto made a commitment to students in its fee Schedules guaranteeing that, unless otherwise noted, no student continuing in a program will be subjected to a fee increase of more than 5% per year. This policy remains in effect regardless of the Tuition framework in place at any given point in time. For students in the doctoral stream, the commitment is in effect for two years for Master's students and for four years for PhD. students. For students who participate in a Professional Experience Year or in co-op Programs as part of their undergraduate program, the normal length of full-time study increases by one year. For undergraduate students entering the University via an International Foundation Program, the normal length of study also increases by one year.

7 The normal length of a program will be determined each year and posted on the University's website. The Government's Tuition Framework for the period 2013-14 to 2018-19 limits Tuition increases for domestic students who are continuing in their Programs to 3% for undergraduate Arts & Science, Music, Kinesiology, Architecture, Landscape & Design, Education, Nursing, Radiation Science, Physician Assistant and Transitional Year Programme. It limits increases to 5% for students entering in professional Programs in 2013-14 and beyond. The University will adhere to the Tuition Framework and Tuition fee increases for continuing full-time domestic students will follow the above-noted caps. Tuition Revenue and Student Aid The proposed budget for 2018-19 includes incremental for-credit Tuition fee revenue of $148 million.

8 Tuition revenues increase annually as a result of both higher enrolments and Tuition fee increases. With no increase in per-student operating grant revenue for 2018-19 , new Tuition revenues are critically necessary to fund initiatives and enhancements across academic and shared service divisions. Academic plans include additional tenure and teaching stream faculty in many divisions, strengthening commitments to equity and diversity in faculty hiring and student recruitment, hiring to support the initiatives called for in the Final Report of the Steering Committee for the U of T Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, enhancement of international student services and mental health services, increases to graduate student funding packages and undergraduate financial aid Programs , investment in research infrastructure, additional experiential learning opportunities and international experiences, and operating budget contributions toward capital projects.

9 Allocations to shared-services are Page 3. restrained, yet recognize the importance of continued investment, and in some cases enhancement, in vital services. Priorities over the next few years include investment in accessible services and accommodations for students with disabilities, ongoing improvements to the student information system, funding to sustain the services and collections (primarily electronic) of our world-class library system, a multi-year project to upgrade classrooms on the St. George campus, and continuation of the Boundless fundraising campaign. Each year the University returns a portion of Tuition revenues to domestic students through a wide range of financial supports including work-study Programs , grants, scholarships and bursaries. New Tuition revenues from international enrolments require significant investment in services to ensure a high-quality experience and the success of our international students.

10 In addition, merit and need-based grants are available to international students. In 2017-18 the Lester B. Pearson Scholarship was introduced. Pearson Scholars will receive a scholarship that will cover Tuition , books, incidental fees, and full residence support for four years of undergraduate study and is currently valued at $55,000-$65,000 per year, depending on the student's program of study. Thirty-seven international students were named Lester B. Pearson Scholars for studies beginning in September 2017. At maturity in 2020, 150 Pearson Scholars will be registered for studies. The University continues to monitor the impact of Tuition fee increases on enrolment to ensure that enrolment is unaffected by Tuition , as required by the University's Fee Policy. In recent years, the University's Enrolment Reports have consistently shown that demand for University Programs continues to be very strong and undergraduate entering averages continue to rise across all three campuses.
