Tuition & Fees
CMU tuition pricing is an advantage for international students. CMU has Manitoba's most affordable international student tuition and reflects CMU's commitment to offer affordable Christian post-secondary education to students from outside Canada. Your presence at CMU helps create a diverse student body, where students of different backgrounds can learn from one another both in the classroom and beyond.
We require new international students to pay an advance deposit before beginning their studies at CMU. The amount of your deposit will depend on the program you have applied for:
| 2025/26 Deposit Rates (CAD) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate | GSTM | MA-PCD | MBA | |
| Tuition Deposit | $10,000 | $8,000 | $8,000 | $8,000 |
Advance Deposit:
- All international students needing to apply for a Canadian study permit must pay their tuition deposit in full to receive their Letter of Acceptance (LOA) and Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) from CMU.
- This tuition deposit covers the cost of our mandatory health insurance, allows registration for classes, and secures a spot in on-campus housing.
- It will be applied towards tuition and fees for the first semester of study; the remaining balance will be due when the student arrives on campus.
- It can be paid online after submitting all required transcripts and receiving an Eligibility Letter from CMU.
- It is non-refundable, unless the student shows proof of a study permit denial. If their study permit is denied, students can request a refund of their tuition deposit minus a $100 CAD administration fee. Please do not pay a tuition deposit if you do not intend on studying at CMU.
- If a student defers their admission, their tuition deposit will remain on their account to be applied in a future term.
The deadlines for these deposits are listed below:
| Deposit Deadlines | ||
|---|---|---|
| Fall Start | Winter Start | |
| Undergraduate Tuition Deposit | June 30 | October 31 |
| Graduate Tuition Deposit | June 1 | September 15 |
Books, transportation, and personal effects are not included in your advance deposit. This policy applies to all new international applicants, except for undergraduate applicants who are USA citizens/permanent residents or who are already living in Canada on valid study permits.
Payment Information
CMU has partnered with Flywire and PayMyTuition to help international students make easier payments for tuition and room and board. Payment can be made directly from your home country to your student account. For further information, please view CMU's payment policy.
International students who are denied a study permit will have their funds returned to them minus a $100 administration fee. The deposit will be refunded in accordance with currency rates at time of refund.

"People invited me over for supper to their homes, taking me grocery shopping, to concerts, Jets games, and sailing.
When I struggled with homesickness, they spent time with me, showing me God's love and support. They gave me opportunities to learn and to grow, in both relationships with people, and with God."
