The application for winter 2025 is open! First, explore the more than 50 undergraduate programs Laurier has to offer to start your studies in January 2025, and then learn more about the unique winter application process. When you're ready, you can apply to up to three programs using the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC).
Applications are still being accepted to start your studies in fall 2024, log in to OUAC to see what programs are available.
The IRCC's recent changes to the study permit application process means that many international undergraduate students will need a provincial attestation letter (PAL) when applying for their study permit. This change applies to students starting their studies at Laurier in spring 2024 and fall 2024.
Students coming to Laurier who require a PAL must also pay a tuition deposit before being issued a PAL. Once the tuition deposit has been paid and processed, we will initiate the request for a PAL on your behalf.

Getting a university education is an investment in your future. We want to invest in you also. We take financial health seriously and equip students with sound financial knowledge and resources.
There are many funding opportunities available for tuition and expenses in your first year of university and after. Work-study programs, on-campus jobs and co-op placements provide financial support throughout university and ensure you graduate with relevant work experience.
Tuition rates are set each year for new, incoming international students. Once admitted, tuition rates for continuing international students will increase by no more than 5% between years of study.
Choose from more than 50 undergraduate programs. This is considered your major area of study. If you want to dive deeper into your major, choose a concentration or specialization.
