Incidental fees are charged on a sessional basis (i.e., students finishing by January 15 pay a one-session incidental fee, those finishing between January 16 and August 31 pay a two-session incidental fee). Students will be billed the annual fee, and may choose to pay either the full fee or the pro-rated fee. A monthly service charge will be applied on unpaid fees beginning November 15, but will be adjusted upon submission of the final unbound thesis. 17. I am a Master’s student.
