University of Regina Fees for International Students — Guide
University of Regina has not published a tuition table for international students. Here's what is confirmed, what to check, and Regina's cost of living.
Direct answer
The University of Regina has not published a tuition fee table for international undergraduate students on its admissions page (uregina.ca/admissions). This guide tells you exactly what is confirmed, what you must verify directly with the university before applying, and what living costs in Regina look like so you can plan your budget properly.
What University of Regina actually publishes
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| International tuition fee | Not published — verify on the official admissions page |
| English requirement (IELTS/equivalent) | Not published — verify on the official admissions page |
| Official source | uregina.ca/admissions |
This is the single most important thing to understand before you ask an agent or a relative "what does URegina cost?" — nobody can give you an honest number until the university's own page is checked for your intake year and your specific programme. Fee tables change by faculty (Arts, Science, Business, Engineering) and by intake, and a figure quoted for one programme does not apply to another. Do not accept a fee number from a forwarded WhatsApp message or an old brochure — go to the admissions page above and find the figure for the exact programme and intake you are applying to.
Cost of living in Regina vs other Canadian cities
Tuition is only half your budget. Living costs matter just as much when you are deciding whether a city is affordable on a student income. Regina is on the lower end of the national range.
| City | Monthly cost of living (estimate) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Regina | $2,200 | Affordable |
| Saskatoon | $2,200 | Affordable Prairies |
| Winnipeg | $2,200 | Lowest cost; UManitoba |
| Fredericton | $2,200 | UNB; low cost |
| Edmonton | $2,400 | Affordable Alberta |
| Montreal | $2,400 | Cheapest big city; Quebec rules differ |
| Toronto | $3,500 | Highest demand; 1-BR $2,300+ |
| Vancouver | $3,500 | Most expensive rent in Canada |
Regina sits in the same monthly cost band as Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Fredericton — all materially cheaper month to month than Toronto or Vancouver. Keep these figures separate from tuition: this is a monthly living estimate, not an annual or total-course cost, and the two should not be added together without knowing your actual tuition figure first.
Proof of funds for a Canada study permit
When you apply for a Canada study permit, immigration officers check that you can show funds beyond your tuition. These are the published proof-of-funds figures by family size:
| Family size | Funds required |
|---|---|
| 1 | $23,448 |
| 2 | $29,192 |
| 3 | $35,888 |
| 4 | $43,572 |
| 5 | $49,419 |
| 6 | $55,736 |
| 7 | $62,054 |
| Each additional member | $6,318 |
If you are applying with dependants, a separate family multiplier is also used in some assessments:
| Family size | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1x |
| 2 | 1.55x |
| 3 | 1.85x |
| 4 | 2.15x |
Use these two tables as reference points, not as a formula to calculate your own total — your visa officer and the university's own financial requirement (once published) are the figures that actually get checked, not a number you've worked out yourself.
What to verify before you apply
- Tuition fee by faculty and intake — confirm directly on uregina.ca/admissions for your specific programme.
- English language requirement — University of Regina's undergraduate IELTS or equivalent score has not been published in the table we hold; confirm the exact score on the official admissions page before you book a test, since different programmes sometimes ask for different minimums.
- Scholarship eligibility — do not assume a scholarship applies to you as a Nepali applicant unless the university's own page states it explicitly for your programme and intake.
- Cost of living budget — use Regina's $2,200/month figure as your baseline, and compare it against other Canadian cities on the Canada hub if you are deciding between provinces.
