Concordia University total cost
A Canadian degree price starts with the student category. This page separates local and international tuition and compulsory fees in Canadian dollars, then adds the published residence and meal plan basis for 2026-2027.
All figures on this page are in Canadian dollars (CAD).
Domestic and international prices are shown on separate lines. Do not compare a CAD total on this page with a USD total on a United States school page without converting currencies first.
The price at Concordia University, by student category
Concordia publishes its three per-credit lines cleanly: CA$103.92 for a Québec resident, CA$432.85 for a Canadian student admitted from outside Québec since Fall 2024, and CA$1,160.00 for an international student in Arts & Science, which at 30 credits is CA$3,117.60, CA$12,985.50 and CA$34,800.00 before about CA$1,154 of calculated university fees. Residence is monthly rent across two campuses with a mandatory CA$6,520 meal plan billed separately, so the Montreal total depends on the building before it depends on anything else.
- Quebec resident: tuition and fees
- CA$4,272 CAD
- Canadian, non-Quebec resident (admitted since Fall 2024): tuition and fees
- CA$14,140 CAD
- International student (Arts & Science): tuition and fees
- CA$35,954 CAD
- International minus local tuition and fees
- CA$31,682 CAD per year
Québec resident: Canadian citizens, First Nations members and permanent residents meeting Québec government residency criteria, at $103.92 per credit.
Non-Québec Canadian admitted effective Fall 2024: $103.92 plus $328.93 forfaitaire = $432.85 per credit.
International student in the Faculty of Arts & Science at $1,160.00 per credit (Fall 2026 / Winter 2027).
That gap repeats in each year the student keeps the same category, before any fee increase.
Tuition and compulsory fees
Program basis: Undergraduate per-credit rates, Fall 2026 and Winter 2027 terms; international basis is the Faculty of Arts & Science per-credit rate. Tuition is per credit, so annual figures are 30 credits of the published rate.. The same basis is used for every category in this table. Where the university publishes tuition and compulsory fees separately, both lines are shown; where it publishes one combined figure, the split is marked as not published rather than estimated.

First-year planning total by category
Each total below adds the category tuition and fees to the published residence and meal plan figure. No books and supplies figure is added, because the school does not publish one on the pages we checked; add your own course costs before treating the total as complete. When residence is published as a range, the total is shown as the same range.
| Student category | Tuition and fees (CAD) | Residence and meal plan (CAD) | First-year planning total (CAD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quebec resident | CA$4,272 | CA$12,040 to CA$19,848 | CA$16,312 to CA$24,120 |
| Canadian, non-Quebec resident (admitted since Fall 2024) | CA$14,140 | CA$12,040 to CA$19,848 | CA$26,180 to CA$33,988 |
| International student (Arts & Science) | CA$35,954 | CA$12,040 to CA$19,848 | CA$47,994 to CA$55,802 |
Residence and meal plan
Calculated range from published monthly rents plus the mandatory meal plan of $6,520 (2026/27): lowest published room is a Loyola shared double at $690/month, highest is a Grey Nuns single with private toilet and shower at $1,666/month. The annual range uses an 8-month lease: 690 x 8 + 6,520 = $12,040; 1,666 x 8 + 6,520 = $19,848. The meal plan is mandatory in all residences and billed separately from rent.
Published figure: CA$12,040 to CA$19,848 CAD. Source: Concordia Student Housing, Rates and meal plan, 2026-2027, verified 2026-10-05. A residence range is not a promise of the lowest-cost room; placement, room type, and meal plan tier decide the billed amount.
Scholarships and aid
No published average aid figure: Concordia publishes named awards, and most entrance amounts are not stated on the official pages checked.
| Published award | Eligibility | Amount (CAD) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concordia Undergraduate Excellence AwardsFor new undergraduate students in Canada demonstrating academic excellence; no application required. Concordia's scholarships page publishes no amounts for its faculty entrance scholarships, so none are priced here. | Domestic | CA$4,000 (guaranteed entrance scholarship) | Concordia University, ScholarshipsVerified 2026-10-05 |
Only a written offer from Concordia University confirms an award for a specific student. An entrance award headline does not reduce the planning total until its amount, eligibility, and renewal rule are in that offer.
City context
No city unemployment or rent figure is published on this page yet. Canada has no single federal file that matches the United States school data groups field for field, so this page does not borrow a figure from a rental listing site or a national average and present it as local fact. Budget off-campus rent from current listings near Montreal and confirm the lease term before comparing it with residence.
A worksheet before borrowing
- Choose the student category first. At Concordia University, the local tuition and fees line is CA$4,272 CAD and the international line is CA$35,954 CAD for 2026-2027; the category decision is worth CA$31,682 CAD per year before housing.
- Add the residence and meal plan figure that matches the room you would actually accept, not only the lowest published room.
- Subtract only awards named in a written offer. Published entrance awards above are possibilities to investigate, not deductions.
- Price four years by repeating the first-year planning total, then test a yearly increase as your own scenario. The university has not forecast your later-year fees on this page.
- Keep the currency pinned: every figure in the worksheet for this school is CAD.
Before you treat this as your price
- Confirm the academic year and the program. Professional and deregulated programs can carry different fees.
- Confirm residency status with the university. Citizenship, permanent residence, and provincial residence are separate questions.
- Check the housing tier and meal plan behind the residence figure.
- Use only a written aid offer as a confirmed scholarship amount.
Record notes
- Concordia also publishes a grandfathered non-Québec rate of $324.35 per credit for students admitted prior to Fall 2024; the newer $432.85 rate is the one shown.
