Université de Montréal 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 Université de Montréal, by student category
At UdeM the three published per-credit lines are CA$103.92 for a Québec resident, CA$324.35 for a Canadian student from outside Québec in a French-language program, and CA$1,025.76 for an international student, which at 30 credits is CA$3,117.60, CA$9,730.50 and CA$30,772.80 of tuition before CA$695.62 per trimester of other compulsory fees. The residences publish monthly studio rates with shared kitchens and no meal plan, so the Montreal housing line is rent only and runs well below the residence-plus-meal-plan figures at English-language schools.

Résident permanent du Québec (Québec resident) at the published base rate of $103.92 per credit.
Canadian student from outside Québec in a French-language program (the applicable rate at UdeM): base $103.92 plus supplement $220.43 = $324.35 per credit.
International student, excluding French and Belgian francophone students, who pay the non-Québec Canadian rate above.
That gap repeats in each year the student keeps the same category, before any fee increase.
Tuition and compulsory fees
Program basis: Undergraduate (1er cycle), full-time at 15 credits per trimester, from the Registraire's published rates and the Faculté des arts et des sciences program example. Most UdeM undergraduate programs are in French.. 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$4,509 | CA$3,832 to CA$7,208 | CA$8,341 to CA$11,717 |
| Canadian, non-Quebec resident | CA$11,122 | CA$3,832 to CA$7,208 | CA$14,954 to CA$18,330 |

Residence and meal plan
Calculated 8-month lease range from published monthly rates at ZUM Résidences (September 1 to April 30): Studio Simple $479/month x 8 = $3,832; Suite avec salle de bain $901/month x 8 = $7,208. No meal plan is offered; residences have shared kitchens.

Scholarships and aid
No published average aid figure: UdeM publishes its exemption scholarship for international students, and no general domestic admission award amount was confirmed on an official page in this pass.

Only a written offer from Université de Montréal 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 Université de Montréal, the local tuition and fees line is CA$4,509 CAD and the international line is CA$32,164 CAD for 2026-2027; the category decision is worth CA$27,655 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
- The program page carrying the per-trimester totals shows a 2025-2026 footer, but its amounts reconcile exactly with the Registraire's 2026-2027 component rates; the year is reported as 2026-2027 with that discrepancy flagged.
- UdeM residences have no meal plan; students cook in shared kitchens.
Common questions
How much does Université de Montréal cost in Canadian dollars?
For 2026-2027, the local tuition and fees line is CA$4,509 CAD and the international line is CA$32,164 CAD on the program basis named on this page. Residence and meal plan costs are shown separately because the billed amount depends on room and plan.
Who counts as a domestic or local student?
Quebec resident: Résident permanent du Québec (Québec resident) at the published base rate of $103.92 per credit. The university decides the category from citizenship, permanent residence, and provincial residence documents. Confirm your category before using a total.
Can I compare this page with a United States school page directly?
Not without a currency step. This page is in Canadian dollars (CAD). United States pages are in US dollars (USD). Convert with a dated exchange rate or compare the structure of the budgets first: tuition category, residence, books, and time to degree.
Are scholarships subtracted from these totals?
No. This page lists awards the university itself publishes and names their eligibility, but only a written offer from Université de Montréal confirms an amount for a specific student.
