As detailed in President Lenton’s message to the community on May 19, Summer 2020 courses and most Fall 2020 courses will be delivered online and remotely. Students are able to access the courses they need to progress in their programs, and we will be offering our full selection of academic programming this Fall. Regardless of delivery format, we will maintain the same high-quality learning experience for which York is known, and our course directors are developing innovative ways to enhance online instruction including adding virtual experiential activities and opportunities for students to engage with each other online. Online and remote courses offer the same course material, course credit value and degree progress as in-person courses, therefore, regardless of delivery format, our fees remain the same. Some supplementary and associated course fees, where the associated service cannot be provided online or remotely, will be waived.
Note about reporting income for OSAP applications: Any Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) or Canada Emergency Student Benefit (CESB) funds received should be reported as study period income and not government income. Income from those programs is subject to the $5,600 per term income exemption.
