(1) Tuition and fee amounts are subject to gubernatorial, legislative and Regental action and may change without notice. For the most recent tuition and fee amounts, please visit the Office of Budget & Institutional Analysis website.

(2) Undergraduate nonresident tuition and fees of $36,780 (not including health insurance) includes nonresident supplemental tuition of $22,878 in addition to systemwide tuition and fees plus campus-based fees totalling $13,902. Example nonresident budget is based on the On-Campus figures. Actual budget may vary.

(3) Students residing in campus apartments or other housing not designated as a Residence Hall or who transfer to single student apartments do not have a recognized Housing Contract, they have a 12-month lease; therefore, those students 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), these students will have an "Off-Campus" budget.

(4) The Health Insurance budget component was updated in late May, but is still subject to change. As such, the Student Expense Budget (Cost of Attendance) reflected in MyAwards will be adjusted once this figure is final. This mandatory fee can be waived, as long as the student can show proof that he or she has adequate private health insurance. For more information on the SHIP waiver, please visit the Student Health and Counseling Services website. It is important to note that financial aid will not cover the health insurance budget component for students who elect to waive out.

Students who wish to declare additional expenses related to rent may contact the Financial Aid Office to ask about Documenting Additional Expenses.
