Tuition Impact Survey
Capilano University's administration is proposing tuition fee increases for September 2025 as follows:
  • 5% increase for new and returning international students
  • 2% increase for new and returning domestic students
Context for the proposed increases

The CSU is surveying students on Capilano University's proposed 2025-2026 tuition increases. Capilano University has cited declining student enrollment and rising operational expenses as reasons for the proposed tuition increases. For the 5% international tuition increase, the university compared international tuition rates with other institutions, concluding that even with the increase, it would remain the lowest per-credit rate among special purpose teaching universities in British Columbia.

Unlike domestic tuition, capped at 2% under the provincial Tuition Limit Policy, international tuition has no such cap and remains one of the few ways the university can generate additional revenue to cover costs. Despite the 5% increase, the university is still forecasting a $6 million budget deficit next year. We will use your feedback will guide CSU advocacy on this issue and help student voices to be heard on tuition and affordability.
