Important notes about tuition and fees
Tuition and fees may vary by major, college, and area of study. The university reserves the right to assess fees for special services and programs applicable to students. Students should plan for a 5 to 10% annual increase for all costs. Part-time fees are on a sliding scale. Tuition includes instructional and general fees. Read the Fees Explanation for a breakdown of all fees.
Students enrolling at any college or university should allow for other expenses such as health insurance, books and supplies (estimated at $1,248 for one year), phone, transportation, recreation, and other personal needs. These expenses are considered when financial aid awards are made. See Student Financial Aid’s Award Guide to learn more.
Tuition Option Payment Plan (TOPP)
The TOPP program allows students and their families to split the cost of tuition, general and instructional fees, and housing into multiple payments per term. There is a fee for this service. Learn more about TOPP. |
