All UBC students are assessed student fees. These fees help cover costs of resources available to students.

Full-time graduate students can expect to pay approximately $1117 per year in student fees (including the U-Pass) and $338 for the AMS/GSS Extended Health Plan. Most of these fees are mandatory, but some have opt-out provisions. All student fees are charged and payable annually, with the exception of the U-Pass, which is charged in three instalments payable in September, January, and May.
