ACAD uses a per credit system of assessing tuition fees. The above represents tuition for a student taking a load of 30 credits per academic year. Fees include ACADSA's Health and Dental Benefits Plan (September to April), and unlimited access to Calgary Transit's light rail and bus systems during the period of enrolment (September to April). Estimated material costs for a first year studies student are $3150. However, due to the individual nature of art education, estimated material costs might vary substantially from student to student, and from program to program. Estimated supply/material costs vary for each major and program of study.
