Summer tuition and fees vary depending on your status and the program of study you choose. Below, you'll find tables that provide an estimate of the breakdown and total for taking three or six credits during a summer session.
Costs are broken down by undergraduate and graduate for in-state, out-of-state, non-resident discount (undergraduate only), and distance (online) education. There are also different fees for select graduate programs; see the differential graduate tuition tables.
Students will also incur other expenses not included on their billing statement that are factored into calculating their cost of attendance. These additional expenses include books, course materials, and supplies estimated at $1,100, personal/miscellaneous expenses estimated at $1,580, transportation expenses ranging from an estimated $500 to $1,500, and estimated federal direct loan fees estimated at $100 (as applicable). For more information on understanding the cost of attendance, please visit the Cost of Attendance vs. Your Bill page.
Financial aid may be available! Learn more about financial aid for Summer Sessions.
Summer billing statements are processed on April 26 with a due date of May 20 unless enrolled in the payment plan. Payment plan due dates: May 20, June 20, and July 20.
Please verify the date of the drop/add period of the summer term class. If you withdraw from the class, you are responsible to pay 100 percent of the cost. The drop/add period for summer term classes is normally one to two days.
