(1) Registration fee amounts are subject to change without prior notice. Fees are based on the assumption that Systemwide Registration and Education fees remain the same. Campus fees projected to increase by various CPI adjustments. For the most recent fee amounts, visit the Office of Resource Management and Planning web site.

(2) Undergraduate nonresident registration fees are $32,033; nonresident tuition of $22,021 and systemwide and campus fees of $10,645.

(3) Students residing in campus apartments and not in Residence Halls do not have a Housing Contract, they have a 12-month lease and, therefore, are not eligible for an "on-campus" budget. Even though they are physically on campus and may have opted for a meal plan (which is available to all students), they have not signed the Housing Contract and are not eligible for the "on campus" budget. In addition, Resident Advisors (RA), while living in the Residence Halls are not eligible for an on-campus budget as they do not pay Residence Hall fees.

Students who wish to document additional expenses related to rent may contact the Financial Aid Office to ask about Documenting Additional Expenses. Students who have signed a Housing Contract are eligible for an "on campus" budget.
