Full-Time Tuition
Please Note: This program is not eligible for provincial tuition support in the form of student loans or grants.
Tuition for the program is assessed on a per-term, per-course basis.
Currently, total tuition for both terms is $14,167:
First term: $6,250
Second term: $7,917
Part-Time Tuition
It is possible to complete the Graduate Diploma on a part-time basis. Students who enrol in part-time studies will select courses each term, therefore tuition fees for each term will vary. To calculate your part-time tuition please refer to the course fee table below.
Please note that you must take ICL 810: Foundations of Canadian Immigration Law before any other course. All other courses can be taken in any order. All courses must be finished in four terms total, meaning students should take two or three courses per semester.
For further information about the part-time study option, please contact immigrationdiploma@queensu.ca.
