Statistics Canada says tuition fees for full-time students in undergraduate programs are five per cent higher for the academic year starting this fall than a year ago. That comes on top of a 4.3 per cent increase for the 2011-2012 school year. In comparison, inflation was 1.3 per cent between July 2011 and July 2012. The agency says average tuition is $5,581, compared with $5,313 a year earlier.
