Home Undergraduate Tuition

Tuition and Fees for the University of Utah are established by the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE). The University offers a variety of payment methods (link payment methods to payment options page) to help parents and students pay their tuition and fees. Prior semester past due amounts will prevent a student from registering for subsequent semesters. We encourage parents and students to pay close attention to payment deadlines.

Here is some additional information to help you understand other ways your tuition could be affected by the kinds of courses you take and when you take them:

Auditing classes:
Charges for auditing a class are the same rate as regular credit classes, and such hours will be counted as part of the student’s total credit-hour load for tuition purposes.
Graduate courses:
If a student enrolls in Graduate level courses as an Undergraduate, all classes, including the Undergraduate courses, will be assessed at the Graduate rate.
Summer Semester:
Both resident and nonresident students are assessed resident tuition and fees during the Summer Semester. This does not apply to dental, law, or any other graduate programs that charge non-resident rates in the Summer Semester.
