Costs

The cost of University of Minnesota courses includes tuition and various fees. These fees are determined by your status at the University, your college of admission, and your program. Textbooks and class materials must be purchased separately.

Tuition and Fees

Tuition rates are determined by several factors, including your residency status, the college you're admitted to (if applicable), and your undergraduate or graduate status. They are subject to change.

  • Tuition and University-wide fees are charged for all courses. The rates for non-degree seeking students can be found at One Stop:
  • If you are formally admitted to a University of Minnesota degree program, you also will pay other fees, depending on your status and college of admission.
  • If you are taking an Online and Distance Learning (ODL) course, you will also be charged an ODL fee:

Additional information for Online and Distance Learning (ODL) students

If you have not been formally admitted to a University of Minnesota degree or certificate program, and you are not classified by the University as a non-resident, you will be charged the lower resident rate for tuition regardless of your geographical location. For questions about residency status, please contact the Office of Admissions, 612-625-6330.
Online and Distance Learning course credits are not counted toward the assessment of the Student Services Fee for students who are also taking courses on campus. They also do not count toward eligibility for the Student Health Insurance program.

You must pay all charges, in full, by the billing statement due date. Full payment must be received (not postmarked), by the billing due date or all your courses for the semester will be cancelled.
