Tuition, Fees, Room + Board
Students taking 12 or more credits pay a flat rate for tuition. Part-time students (those taking less than 12 credits) pay for classes on a per credit basis. Student fees cover the cost of selected university programs and activities, admission to fine arts and athletic events, student publications, technology and health and wellness services.
Several room and board arrangements are available for on-campus housing. The costs presented here reflect the arrangements most commonly selected by new freshmen - a double room and the Elite meal plan. Students should plan on spending approximately $700 per year for books and supplies and approximately $2,600 per year for personal expenses and transportation.
Minnesota transfer students must file a reciprocity application with the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board, St. Paul. Applications should be completed at www.getreadyforcollege.org beginning late spring for the following academic year.
Students living in the states participating in the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) Progam or the Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP) or contiguous provinces (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Manitoba, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Saskatchewan, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming) are eligible for tuition at 150 percent of NDSU's resident tuition. WUE and MSEP tuition are considerably less than nonresident tuition. Students from participating states qualify for the reduced tuition rate simply by indicating their state of residence on the Application for Admission.
Children and spouses of North Dakota college and university graduates may be eligible for reduced tuition at NDSU through the Alumni tuition incentive program. New undergraduate students who are otherwise non-resident students and are residents of states or provinces not engaged in a reduced tuition structure are eligible for a tuition rate at 150 percent of the North Dakota resident rate. To qualify, list the institution on line 18 of the Application for Admission.
Spouses and dependents of NDSU employees may be eligible for a tuition discount equal to one-half of the tuition for NDSU classes. Please contact the Office of Human Resources to complete the paperwork at least 30 days prior to the beginning of the term.
