Since the University of North Dakota is supported by legislative appropriations, tuition and fees paid by students constitute only a part of the actual cost of the student’s education. An individual registration is not complete until all tuition/fees are paid. Tuition for North Dakota’s institutions of higher education is determined annually by the State Board of Higher Education. In addition, the Board authorizes the individual institutions to collect certain other mandatory fees, which in 2005-07 totaled $503 per semester at UND (and is included in the above table). These include the student fees which support, among other functions, musical organizations, the UND Memorial Union, intercollegiate athletics, the health fee, student activity fees allocated by student government for such purposes as concerts and student publications, $247.14; Student Union bond retirement, $14.50; McCannel Hall renovation, $15.00; wellness operations, $45.00; wellness bond, $50.00; the ConnectND Fee, $81.00; the technology fee, $50.00; and the North Dakota Student Association fee, $0.36. The wellness, student activity, and bond retirement fees were approved by votes by the student body.

*All fees are subject to change without notice; contact the Office of Enrollment Services for up-to-date cost estimates. Contiguous states and provinces include South Dakota, Montana, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Part-time students taking 11 or fewer hours are billed on a per-credit hour basis. Summer session tuition and fees are 75 percent of the semester rate.

**In addition to this tuition fee schedule, program fees are assessed in the College of Business and Public Administration, Engineering, Law, Nursing, Teacher Education and for graduate students as indicated in a following section titled “Other Fees.”

REGULATIONS REGARDING NON-RESIDENT FEES
TUITION FOR NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS
(Requirements subject to change without notice): Non-resident students seeking to declare North Dakota residence for tuition purposes must submit an affidavit of residency for the term in which they are currently enrolled to the Business Office by the deadline published in the semester time schedule of classes. For purposes of determining residency, a resident student is defined by law as follows:
  1. A person whose guardian, custodial parent, or parents are legal residents of this state and have resided in this state for 12 months, or a dependent child whose custodial parent moved into the state with the intent to establish legal residency for a period of years within the last twelve months immediately prior to the beginning of the academic term. (Applicant must be claimed as a dependent on the parent or guardian’s most recent federal tax return.);
  2. A person of age eighteen or over who has been a legal resident of North Dakota for 12 months immediately prior to the beginning of the academic term:
  3. A person who graduated from a North Dakota high school;
  4.  A full-time active duty member of the armed forces (does not include reserve members);
  5. A spouse or dependent of a full-time active duty member of the armed forces (does not include reserve members) or of an employee of any institution of higher education in this state;
  6.  The spouse of any person who is a resident for tuition purposes; or
  7.  Any other person who was a legal resident of North Dakota for at least 3 consecutive years within 6 years immediately prior to the beginning of the academic term.

Applications for residency are available at the Business Office.

Legal residence in the State of North Dakota includes, but is not necessarily limited to the following responsibilities and rights:

  1.  To vote in general or special elections in the State.
  2.  To obtain a North Dakota driver’s license.
  3.  To obtain a North Dakota license for any motor vehicle owned.
  4.  To file a North Dakota resident income tax return.
  5.  To obtain a ND resident game or fishing license after 6 months residency in the state.

International Students: To qualify as a North Dakota resident for tuition purposes, international students who are not refugees must have an Alien Registration Receipt Card (Green Card) proving permanent residency or immigrant status and must meet all the other North Dakota residency requirements for tuition purposes. Refugee students should contact the Business Office for requirements.

MINNESOTA TUITION RECIPROCITY
Residents of Minnesota and their dependents may attend a North Dakota state institution of higher learning and pay a special tuition rate that is lower than the normal non-resident rate. An exception to this is Medical and Law students enrolled beginning fall semester 2006. The Minnesota reciprocity tuition rate does not apply. This rate is determined by averaging the tuition costs of the North Dakota and Minnesota state university systems. To be certified for reciprocity at UND, Minnesota students must (1) file UND’s standard admission application, and (2) file a reciprocity participation application. Reciprocity applications are available online at: www.und.edu/dept/busoff/. Students who previously participated in the reciprocity program and have not earned credit in the previous 12 months must reapply.

CONTIGUOUS STATES/PROVINCES TUITION, FEES
Although residents of South Dakota, Montana, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are not covered by reciprocity agreements, they pay lower tuition and fees than do other non-residents.

WESTERN UNDERGRADUATE EXCHANGE PROGRAM
The University of North Dakota participates in the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program. Currently, students may enroll in designated programs at selected institutions in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming at a special tuition level. For example, those attending the University of North Dakota under the WUE program pay an amount equal to one and one-half times the North Dakota in-state tuition and fees, which in 2006-07 would have totaled $8,186 instead of the normal $13,786 in non-resident tuition and fees for that year.

MIDWESTERN HIGHER EDUCATION CONSORTIUM
The University of North Dakota participates in the Midwestern Higher Education Consortium (MHEC). Currently, students enrolled in designated programs at selected institutions in Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Kansas attend at a special tuition level. For example, those attending the University of North Dakota under MHEC pay an amount equal to one and one-half times the North Dakota in-state tuition and fees, which in 2006-07 would have totaled $8,186 instead of the normal $13,786 for that year.

DEPENDENTS AND SPOUSES OF NORTH DAKOTA UNIVERSITY SYSTEM GRADUATES
DDependents and spouses of North Dakota University System campus graduates may be eligible for a lower tuition and fee rate than other nonresidents. If qualified, students may attend a North Dakota University System institution at a tuition rate of 150% of the resident tuition rate plus all applicable fees.
