                   SASKATOON
                   The University of Saskatchewan’s historic main campus is recognized as one of the most
                   beautiful in the country, and our city is known as a hidden gem by those who visit and come
                   to call it home.

                   Our campus is found at the heart of the vibrant city of Saskatoon, which has a growing
                   population of more than 270,000 people.

                   Saskatoon is a welcoming city for newcomers and offers many opportunities to experience
                   Canadian culture. We also celebrate cultures from around the world.

                   As the largest city in the province of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon offers the amenities of a large
                   urban centre, along with the friendliness and accessibility of a smaller city.

                   Here, you can have a true Canadian experience in a city that is safe, affordable and student-
                   friendly.

Undergraduate tuition
and student fees
Tuition for most undergraduate programs at the University of Saskatchewan is calculated by adding up
the cost of individual classes you select and register for each year.

The following estimates reflect a typical amount you could expect to pay per year if you enroll in a full
course load (the maximum number of courses allowed).

                                                                       Agriculture and Bioresources                                       $18,053.00 CAD

Tuition estimates for international students registered in a full course load in 2020 Fall Term and 2021 Winter Term (September-April) are represented. International
undergraduate tuition rates are assessed at 2.73 times the rate for Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

Student fees are used to fund specific student benefits offered as part of your university education. These include
fees to support athletics and recreation programs, student services, health and dental plans, your students’ union
and the U-Pass Universal Transit Pass that allows you unlimited travel during the school year with Saskatoon Transit.

The amount you will pay depends on if you are taking classes full-time or part-time, and if you are on campus,
remote or not. This estimate reflects a typical amount a full-time, on-campus student could expect to pay if
enrolled in the fall and winter terms.
