Clinical Vision Science Programme Fees
Term Payments
According to Dalhousie University Faculty of Graduate Studies’ guidelines, students of the Clinical Vision Science Program pay programme fees for two program years. There are 3 payments per year, 6 in total for the whole Program.
Program payments for the 2011-12 academic year are:

An additional course administration fee of $102 is added and has to be paid by distance students for each ½-credit distance course taken in the term.
Graduate Diploma Fees
After completion of all course work, students not planning to continue with the thesis, may graduate with the Graduate Diploma (DORTH/OMT). Students choosing this option must fulfill the 2-year program fee requirement before graduation. A student may apply to return to the MSc CVS to complete the thesis at a later date, however lapse registration fees and continuing fees will apply.
International Students
Students registering who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents have to pay an additional fee referred to as “Graduate Programme Differential Fee". It is to cover the subsidy that the province offers to Canadian students. This term fee for Clinical Vision Science students is $1,730 and is payable three times per academic year.
Dalhousie International Students are required to purchase the International Health Insurance Plan each year while in the program:
Single $636
Married $1,236
If an international student already has coverage, they have to apply to the International Exchange and Student Services for reimbursement at the beginning of the academic year. For the exact deadline of the application and for details please contact the International Exchange and Student Services Office. Phone: (902) 494-1735; Fax: (902) 494-6848.
Continuing Education Fee
The Master’s Program in Clinical Vision Science is a two-year programme. A continuing fee applies if a student stays longer than 2 years in the Program, regardless of whether the additional time is needed for courses, practicum or for thesis. Faculty of Graduate Studies’ policies at Dalhousie University allow Master’s students a maximum of 5 years to graduate from the Clinical Vision Science Program.
