University of Manitoba 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 University of Manitoba, by student category
Manitoba prices Arts by the credit hour, so the honest first step is the load: at 30 credit hours the domestic tuition line is CA$4,919.10 and the international line is CA$20,676.90 before the flat term fees are added. Residence is a range across halls and meal plans, from CA$10,138 with no meal plan to CA$17,580 for Arthur V. Mauro with the 7-Day Unlimited plan, so the room choice moves this budget almost as much as the category choice.
- Domestic student: tuition and fees
- CA$6,396 CAD
- International student: tuition and fees
- CA$23,474 CAD
- International minus local tuition and fees
- CA$17,078 CAD per year
Domestic student rate as published by the Registrar; one domestic Arts rate is published, with no Manitoba versus other-province split.
International student rate for students on a study permit paying the international rate.
That gap repeats in each year the student keeps the same category, before any fee increase.
Tuition and compulsory fees
Program basis: Faculty of Arts, full-time undergraduate priced per credit hour; annual figures calculated at 30 credit hours from the published per-credit rates and the published Fall and Winter flat fees.. 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.

Scholarships and aid
No published average aid figure: the University of Manitoba publishes named entrance awards and tiers, not a reliable average grant per student on the pages checked.

Only a written offer from University of Manitoba 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 Winnipeg and confirm the lease term before comparing it with residence.
A worksheet before borrowing
- Choose the student category first. At University of Manitoba, the local tuition and fees line is CA$6,396 CAD and the international line is CA$23,474 CAD for 2026-2027; the category decision is worth CA$17,078 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
- Annual Arts figures are calculated from published per-credit-hour rates at a 30-credit-hour load; the per-credit figures are the published ones.
- Mandatory international health insurance is included in the international compulsory-fees line.
Common questions
How much does University of Manitoba cost in Canadian dollars?
For 2026-2027, the local tuition and fees line is CA$6,396 CAD and the international line is CA$23,474 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?
Domestic student: Domestic student rate as published by the Registrar; one domestic Arts rate is published, with no Manitoba versus other-province split. 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 University of Manitoba confirms an amount for a specific student.
