As a mature student with an already established family and work life in Toronto, the accessibility of the York campus was crucial. Today, I have deepened my knowledge of humanitarian aid thanks to discussions with my professors and experiential learning opportunities. Working with organizations in and around Toronto and learning from fieldwork has had a huge impact on the decisions I have made in my learning and career path.

Senior Citizens

It's never too late to earn your degree: York welcomes seniors to share their experiences while gaining new knowledge and skills.

To support your lifelong learning, Canadian senior citizens or permanent residents are eligible for a tuition fee waiver. The tuition fee waiver for an eligible senior citizen is restricted to a maximum of one undergraduate and one graduate degree.

To be eligible you must be 60 years or older by May 1 for Summer entry, or by September 1 for Fall/Winter entry.

The tuition fee waiver is capped for senior citizens to the level of tuition fees assigned to domestic, non-professional undergraduate arts, science and other programs as defined in the tuition fee guidelines from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
