Notes
The university reserves the right to change its charges without notice.
1 All incoming first-year students are required to live on campus. The cost for room and dining is an estimate based on a standard double room in university housing, a dining plan contract and the residence hall activity fee. Some students may be housed in triples and quads at lower rates, without a reduction in their eligibility for financial aid. Permission for first-year students to commute must be granted by Student Affairs. Off-campus room rate is estimated at resident room rate minus $1,500.
2 The commuter dining amount is estimated at 50% of first-year resident dining. For returning students, resident and off-campus dining is estimated using first-year resident dining minus $310.
3 These expenses will not appear on your student account.
4 Travel allowance for resident and off-campus students varies based on home state.
+ In addition, health insurance coverage is required. The 2023-2024 individual premium was $ 2,577.00/year for all students. If a student is covered under their family’s health plan, a waiver may be submitted to University Health Services for approval. View more details on the University Health Services website.
