Graduate diploma fees
After completion of all course work, students not planning to continue with thesis research, may graduate with Graduate Diploma (DORTH/OMT). Students choosing this option must fulfill the 2-year program fee requirement before graduation. DORTH/OMT graduates may return to the Program at a later date to complete their thesis for the Master's degree. In this case lapse registration fees and continuing fees will apply.
