Does tuition include bus pass and gym pass??

Buss pass - yes
Gym pass - if you're talking about the weight room, then no. You have access to many other facilities, but you have to pay additional fees to use the weight room (called the pulse membership). http://www-athrec.mcmaster.ca/registration/pulse.htm

It includes the the Hamilton Transit but not other buses like the GO.

Yes and no to the gym. With that you are given access to all the gym floors and courts but not to the weight room/machines. For that it is an extra 50$ per semester

Tutition is just your courses I believe. Supplementary fees are what include the bus pass, gym pass, health insurance, MSU fees, faculty fees etc.

Here's an exact breakdown of all the supplementary fees outside course fees.

http://registrar.mcmaster.ca /CALEN...12/pg2014.html - 2011/12. It looks like all the same stuff with neglible minute increases across the board.

McMaster Student Union's University Student Centre Building fee ($3.00 per unit), to a maximum of $90.00

I thought that was over and done with?

Thanks for the updated version, I didn't realize that was the older UG calendar.

The calandar quotes last years fees...it is published in February before the fees are approved.

Here is the first page that you used to get to the supplementary fees that expalins this...

This years approved fees are on the Student Accounts website here...

That being said I will request the notation to be on all accessable pages under Financial Information. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Theresa

just an FYI to any part-timers if they happen to read this... this does not apply to us (bus pass, etc)

All the MSU services apply you part-time students who are taking 18+ units. So I think you still do get the bus pass since it's the MSU who deals with the HSR. msumcmaster.ca for information on the MSU.

Doesn't "part time" mean less than 18 units though?

That's what I know as well: 18 and up is classified as full-time.

MSU part-time is less than 18 units but isn't McMaster/OSAP part-time is less than 24 units?

Edit: Maybe not McMaster then... but OSAP for sure. Weird.
