*Differential Tuition is assessed to students in selected programs to cover the costs of additional resources and facilities associated with those programs. The differential tuition replaces the base tuition for those programs.

• Technology
• Memorial Union
• Career Services
• Substance Abuse Prevention Programming
• Multicultural Programs and Services
• Athletics
• Judicial/Crisis Team

Increases to the UND Student Fees are indexed to the rate of the approved tuition increase up to a maximum of 5%. Any increase above the 5% is approved by the President under SBHE Policy 805.2 section 1.b.

New Student Fee

All incoming undergraduate students will pay a one-time, nonrefundable new incoming student fee ($185) to cover the costs of services and events such as New Student Orientation, Welcome Weekend and the U Card (student ID). The fee will be assessed with their first-semester tuition costs.

Incoming graduate, law, medical, collaborative, LAUNCH and non-degree students are exempt from the new student fee. UND employees who begin an undergraduate degree program and use the employee waiver benefit will receive a waiver of the new student fee.

Auditing a Class

The fee for auditing a class (taking for no credit) will be 50% of the regular, per hour tuition charge for that course. Mandatory fees are not charged.

Collaborative Students

A collaborative student is one who is earning their degree from UND and chooses to enroll in courses at another North Dakota University System (NDUS) institution within the same term. The institution from which the student is earning a degree is considered the "home institution." The institution that supplies the courses for a degree is considered the "provider institution(s)."

The student pays tuition/fees to their home institution (UND) for the collaborative courses. The cost information is received from the provider institution, and this additional amount will be included on the student's account balance at UND. Collaborative courses are not subject to the UND tuition cap.
