Children and spouses of North Dakota college and university graduates living in other states may be eligible for reduced tuition at the University of North Dakota. A graduate is someone who has earned a degree at a North Dakota University System campus. Two requirements must be met to take advantage of the special tuition structure approved by the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education. The prospective UND student must:

1. Maintain residency in a state other than North Dakota, Minnesota, or a state included in the Western Undergraduate Exchange program, and

2. Be claimed for federal tax purposes as a dependent or spouse of the North Dakota University System school graduate.

Typically, non-resident students pay tuition at a higher rate than residents of North Dakota, Minnesota, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and states participating in the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Non-residents who qualify for other rates -- Minnesota reciprocity, WUE, etc. -- will still be eligible for those rates. New undergraduate students who meet the residency and dependent requirements are eligible for a tuition structure at 150 percent of the North Dakota resident rate. Click here to view UND's Tuition.
