Costs

Tuition at the University of Minnesota is assessed according to your student classification and program, your residency status, and whether you come from a state or province with which the University has a reciprocity agreement. For purposes of tuition and fee assessment, May Session and Summer Session are treated together as a single Summer Term. In addition to tuition, you may be charged fees based on a variety of criteria.

For further details, see below, or visit the Costs & fees section on the One Stop Web site.

Tuition Schedule for Summer Term

A complete 2012 tuition schedule is available. Fees are subject to change without notice.

Fees

Student Services Fee

The Student Services Fee is $120.76 if you register for 3–5 credits and $241.52 if you register for 6 or more credits.

If, however, you are a continuing student who paid the services fee for spring semester, you will be charged $81.41 for 3–5 credits and $162.82 for 6 or more credits.

The difference represents the value of the Boynton Health Service benefits. Boynton benefits carry over through the summer for students who paid the Student Services Fee during spring semester.

Exceptions: Non-admitted students, post-secondary enrollment option (PSEO) students, students admitted to a credit certificate program only, students admitted to certain evening-based programs, and those registering under the Senior Citizen Education Program do not need to pay the Student Services Fee. In addition, credits for off-campus courses, courses entirely online, or Online and Distance Learning (ODL) courses are excluded from the total credit count.

Students meeting the exemption criteria (excluding students in the Senior Citizen Education Program) may elect to pay the fee if you want to be given limited access to services covered by the fee (health plan excluded). If your course is held on another campus of the University, however, you pay the Student Services Fee of that campus. A complete list of the organizations and activities the fee supports can be found on One Stop.

Additional information, including Course fees, General fees, College and program fees, Service and usage fees, and Other Fees, can be found on One Stop.

Health-related Fees

University-sponsored Student Health Benefit Plan: $484 for coverage May 21–August 23, 2012. If you were enrolled in the Student Health Benefit Plan during spring semester 2012, you will automatically be covered through Aug. 23, 2012, at no additional cost. If you were not enrolled spring semester, and are required to pay the Student Services Fee this summer, you must purchase the summer Student Health Benefit Plan unless you already have private health coverage. This health plan coverage is unavailable to students who are not required to pay the Student Services Fee. Visit the Student Health Benefits site for details.

Billing and Payment

Student Classification

You will be charged the undergraduate rate and receive undergraduate credit if you are not registered as a graduate or professional degree student.

Pay a graduate or professional degree rate if:

  • You are officially admitted to a Graduate School or professional degree program at any campus of the University of Minnesota, or
  • You are a visiting (non-admitted) student in the Graduate School or professional degree program or have permission to receive graduate credit, or
  • You are admitted to a College of Continuing Education (CCE) post-baccalaureate certificate program.

Residency

Pay the resident rate if:

  • You have maintained a permanent home in Minnesota for at least one calendar year for purposes other than obtaining an education, have been classified as a Minnesota resident by the University of Minnesota, or
  • You are a non-admitted student registering for undergraduate credit, or
  • The credits are in an Online and Distance Learning (ODL) course, or in the BAS Radiation Therapy or BAS Respiratory Care programs, or
  • You are admitted to a credit certificate program in the College of Continuing Education, or
  • You hold a qualifying appointment as a graduate assistant.

Pay the nonresident rate if:

  • None of the residency criteria above applies, and
  • You are not a resident of Minnesota, or
  • You have been classified by the University as a nonresident, non-reciprocity student.

Nonresident exemptions for visiting (non-admitted) summer students: If you are a visiting (i.e., have never been admitted as a degree-seeking student) or non-admitted student from out-of-state, and you are registering as an undergraduate, you are exempt from paying nonresident tuition rates in the summer. This same exemption also applies to most visiting (non-admitted) students who register for graduate-level credits. If you have questions about your residency status, call 612-625-6330.

Tuition Reciprocity

The University has reciprocity agreements with Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Manitoba. If you are a resident of any of these states or provinces, you may qualify for reciprocity tuition rates that are lower than nonresident tuition rates and, in some cases, comparable to resident rates. Go to One Stop for reciprocity procedures and the specific rates applicable to participating states.

Financial Aid

To be eligible for Office of Student Finance (OSF) Summer Term financial aid you must be officially admitted to a U of M Twin Cities degree program effective for Summer Term 2012.
