Thompson Rivers University (TRU) becomes the first post-secondary institution in British Columbia to implement a guaranteed tuition model for its international students. Starting September 2024, new international students will pay the same tuition rate throughout their program. The university will adopt a pay-per-credit system with undergraduate tuition set at $849 per credit, subject to annual adjustments. Some graduate and trade programs will see a 15% tuition hike, while continuing international students and those in exempt programs will face a 3% increase starting Fall 2025.
Thompson Rivers University is the first post-secondary institution in the province to approve a guaranteed-tuition model for its international students.
All other international tuition fees for other graduate and trades programs will be hiked by 15 per cent next fall when the new tuition model comes into effect. A ‘band-aid’ solution? The TRU student union is one of numerous student unions across the province that has been calling for a change in how post secondary is funded due to an “over-reliance” on international student tuition and fees.
Without a cap put on annual increases for new cohorts of international students, Rae said TRU will continue to rely on international tuition and fees.
