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 1996-97 totaled $217.00 per semester at UND (and is included in the
above table). These include
the University Fee, which supports, among other functions, musical organizations, the UND
Memorial Union, and
intercollegiate athletics, $71.00; health fee, $53.00; student activity fees, allocated by student
government for such
purposes as concerts and student publications, $20.50; Memorial Union bond retirement, $7.50;
McCannel Hall Renovation,
$15.00; and technology fee, $50.00. The student activity and bond retirement fees were approved
by votes by the student
body.

MINNESOTA TUITION RECIPROCITY
Residents of Minnesota and their dependents may attend a North Dakota state institution of

special tuition rate that is lower than the normal non-resident rate. This rate is determined by
averaging the tuition
costs of the North Dakota and Minnesota state university systems. All UND students from
Minnesota are included. To be
certified for reciprocity at UND, Minnesota students must (1) file UND's standard admission
application, and (2) file a
reciprocity participation application with the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating
Commission, 901 Capitol Square
Building, 550 Cedar Street, St. Paul, MN 55101. Reciprocity applications are available at the
Office of Admissions and
Records. Students who previously participated in the reciprocity program and have not earned
credit in the previous 12
months must reapply.

program. Currently, students may
enroll in designated programs at selected institutions in Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico,
Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, 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 1996-97 would have totaled $3,600 instead of the normal $6,068 in non-resident tuition
and fees for that year.
