How much is student support?

MSc:

During the school year:

• $800/term if they TA
• $5,800/term if they don't TA

During the summer:

• $2,000 if they TA both periods
• $4,000 if they TA one period
• $5,800 if they don't TA at all

Annual Cost Examples: Therefore, an MSc student who TAs:

• as much as possible: $3,600 / yr
• all year and once in the summer: $5,600 / yr
• once during the year and not at all in the summer: $12,400 / yr
• not at all: $17,300 / yr

PhD:

During the school year:

• $1,400/term if they TA
• $6,600/term if they don't

During the summer:

• $2,700 if they TA twice
• $4,500 if they TA once
• $6,600 if they don't TA at all

Annual Cost Examples: Therefore, a PhD student who TAs:

• as much as possible: $5,500 / yr
• all year and once in the summer: $7,300 / yr
• once during the year and not at all in the summer: $14,600 / yr
• not at all: $19,700 / yr

Caveat: During the summer, there are two terms, during each of which students can TA. The two terms actually pay slightly different amounts, but I've picked a number in between the two values to make things simpler.
