Application Deadline
International applicants: Humber has no fixed application deadline. It warns that it receives far more applications than it has seats, that programs fill very quickly, and that availability depends on when your application is processed, not when it is submitted, so apply early; waitlisted applicants can receive offers up to the fifth day of class. Canadian applicants: for highly competitive programs, applications received by February 1 get equal consideration; after that, applications are reviewed first come, first served while space remains and until the program closes
Tuition Information
Humber lists the 2026/2027 fee for two semesters as CAD 7,853.92 for Canadian students and CAD 23,077.42 for international students. International students also pay a mandatory health insurance fee once per academic year (CAD 418.15 for fall or winter starts, CAD 207.26 for summer starts). The program page's upcoming-year view (September 2027 to August 2028) still shows the 2026/2027 fee, so 2027/2028 fees are not yet published; Humber notes that fees are subject to change.
Admission Requirements
- Apply: international applicants use the Humber Web Application and pay a CAD 100 non-refundable fee (covering up to two program choices for one intake). After accepting an offer, international students pay a CAD 2,000 tuition deposit by the date in the offer letter; Humber requests the Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) for the study permit only after the deposit is paid. Canadian applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca (Humber lists a CAD 150 processing fee) and pay a CAD 250 tuition deposit after confirming an offer

- International applicants upload scanned transcripts and credentials for all previous study (with notarized English translations where needed); Humber's academic equivalency tool lists the equivalent requirements by country

Statuses are as Humber publishes them; "Opening Soon" appears to mean applications for that intake have not opened yet.
- Humber's program page marks this program as PGWP-eligible, with no CIP code required: Humber notes that bachelor's degree programs have no field-of-study requirement and all its degree programs are PGWP-eligible. Humber also notes that online programs are not currently PGWP-eligible and that the Government of Canada (IRCC) makes the final eligibility decision
