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 2000-01 totaled $242.00 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, $86.00; health fee, $63.00; 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.

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 less than 18 years of age whose custodial parent or guardian
has been a legal resident of North Dakota for 12 months immediately prior to
the beginning of the academic term:
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 dependent child whose parent or guardian has been a legal resident of
North Dakota for 12 months immediately prior to the beginning of the academic term
or resides in the state with the intent to establish residency in the state for
a period of years (Applicant must be claimed as a dependent on the parent or
guardian’s most recent federal tax return);
4. A person who graduated from
a North Dakota high school within 6 years immediately prior to the beginning of
the academic term;
5. A full-time active duty
member of the armed forces assigned to a military installation in North Dakota
(does not include National Guard or reserve members);
6. A spouse or dependent of a
full-time active duty member of the armed forces assigned to a military
installation in North Dakota (does not include National Guard or reserve
members);
7. A dependent of an instructor
who lives in North Dakota and teaches in any institution of higher education in
the state (instructor with faculty or equivalent professional status);
8. The spouse of any person who
is a resident for tuition purposes; or
9. 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.
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.
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 Services Office,
Reciprocity Program, 1450 Energy Park Dr., Suite 350, St. Paul, MN 58108-5227.
Reciprocity applications are available at the Office of Admissions. Students
who previously participated in the reciprocity program and have not earned
credit in the previous 12 months must reapply.
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.
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 2000-01 would have totaled $4,390 instead of the
normal $7,438 in non-resident tuition and fees for that year.
Dependents 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. This program applies to all qualified
students who are newly enrolled for the Fall 1999 term or later. This category
is for undergraduate instruction only.
