Okanagan College sets tuition rates for 2025/2026

Tuition rates for the 2025/26 program year have been approved by the Okanagan College Board of Governors. Domestic student tuition will increase by two per cent, and international student tuition will increase by 4.8 per cent, effective September 2025.

Domestic student tuition

The increase to domestic student tuition complies with  B.C.’s tuition limit policy and will come into effect in September 2025. The tuition limit policy applies to domestic tuition only. Post-secondary institutions receive funding from the provincial government each year that offsets the provision of programs for domestic students.

International student tuition

New tuition transparency requirements announced by the provincial government earlier this year require post-secondary institutions to provide incoming international students with the full cost of their program. In this respect, OC has confirmed that annual increases for students from outside of Canada who start in fall 2025 will continue to be 4.8 per cent for each of the next three years.

The OC Board of Governors also approved a realignment of how the College calculates international student tuition, which will not take effect until September 2026. Under the new model, international student tuition will reflect direct and indirect costs. This results in a 40 per cent increase for new international students in September 2026, with annual increases of 4.8 per cent for each year following.
