I chose a double degree academic program. Does that mean that I will have two programs, and will my tuition and fees be doubled?

Tuition and fees are structured to cover both degrees; they are not simply doubled but set at a combined rate.
My preferred degree program is not in the dropdown list. What should I do?
The dropdown list includes all currently offered undergraduate programs. If your preferred program is not listed, it is not available for the current admission cycle – please select an alternative from the available options.
