Appendix D Tuition fee policy, government-funded programs On March 29, 2019, the MCU introduced a new tuition fee framework. The framework imposed a 10 per cent reduction to all existing tuition fees for publicly assisted programs. The tuition fee framework extended a second year with a mandatory tuition freeze for publicly assisted programs in 2020-21. There is no guidance for institutions at this time for financial planning on tuition rates beyond 2020-21, therefore the University assumed rates consistent with 2020-21. The approved fee changes for the 2021-22 academic year are detailed in Figure 119. Figure 119

Tuition fee policy, non-governmentfunded programs International students in undergraduate and graduate programs and cost-recovery programs are not eligible for provincial government funding, and therefore universities are not governed by the government’s tuition policy in setting tuition rates for this student group. A differentiated approach is taken to account for demand after benchmarking to fees charged at other Ontario universities. Figure 120 details the 2021-22 non-government-funded program rates that were proposed to and approved by the Board of Trustees in December 2020.
