1. Non-Idaho Resident Graduate Tuition & Fees $15,030 = $4,950 Fees + $10,080.
2. Room and Board costs vary; the figures listed above reflect average costs of living expenses on or off campus. Students who live with their parents, non-traditional students or students who have their children living with them receive different budgets. Other than these situations, a student's living arrangement does not affect the budget used by Student Financial Aid Services.
3. Book costs are based on an average for a full load of courses for one academic year. The average cost may vary from one year to the next. This also includes an average cost for course related supplies.
4. Miscellaneous and Personal includes items such as clothing, health insurance, special course fees, personal care products, laundry, etc.
Idaho Resident Fees: Part-time per credit fee for 1-7 credits
Note: Non-resident fees are waived for on line classes.
On-Line Course Fees:
Many courses meeting MNR requirements that distance education students can register for at the UI are online courses, which are labelled in the UI Class Schedule as "World-Wide-Web" or "WWW;" these specifically designated courses are offered at a special online (resident, in-state) rate.
However, not all courses taken by distance education students are online ones; those not listed in the UI Class Schedule as such -- e.g., 501 (DS), 502 (Sem./Colloquium), 599 (Non-research Thesis) -- are not, and have fees based on non-resident status.
Add $35 per credit to the fees listed above. Also, it is strongly recommended that, upon registration, students contact the instructor of each on-line course to determine if additional fees apply.
