NOTES: Material fees for classes that are dropped after the term begins will be charged and will not be reversed without a signed material fee form from the instructor (see Financial Services or website for form). Bus Passes are charged the first day of classes and will be applied to students' accounts. There are no refunds without approval from the SUNSCAD office.
All new full-time International students (except for Exchange students) are required to purchase health insurance in Canada to be considered to have adequate coverage for Canadian medical services. This insurance must be purchased immediately upon arriving at NSCAD and before classes begin. No exemptions will be considered. In applying to and submitting a commitment fee to the University, International students agree to this requirement. Students who purchase only a semester plan (4 months) will not be permitted to register for the next (i.e. Winter) semester without purchasing further health coverage for the upcoming semester. Improved coverage is provided through purchase of the annual (12 month) plan, which covers a student until August 31, whether or not the student is registered at NSCAD. This coverage may not be used in the student’s home country.
| Term | Single | Family |
| 12 months | $650.00 | $1595.00 |
| 4 months | $236.00 | $580.00 |
The university offers a 40% discount to senior citizens enrolled in undergraduate courses.
