            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.

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. 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.

 

WESTERN UNDERGRADUATE EXCHANGE 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.

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.
