Tuition and Fees

The cost of the tuition for graduate-level credits depends on your status at the University of Minnesota:

Non-Degree Seeking Students - For those not matriculated in degree programs at the U of MN, the tuition cost is $416.34 per credit, PLUS approximately $190 in registration fees for two credits. Please see the Onestop website for more information: http://onestop.umn.edu/onestop/Tuition_Billing/Tuition_Rates.html

Degree-Seeking - Students who are currently enrolled in degree-seeking programs at the U of MN and want to take any of these summer institutes for credit are eligible for a discount on the initial, non-credit registration/materials fee. Currently enrolled U of MN students will pay only $150 per instute, but must also register AND pay for credits. To receive this discount, registrants must indicate their U of MN student ID on the application form and will need to pay for their initial registration costs using a paper form that can either be faxed or mailed into the College of Continuing Education (CCE). Those registrants who receive a discount, but do not register for credit on the first day of the institute, will be billed for the balance of the registration cost.

Degree-Seeking students should register for credit on the first day of the institute. Those who need to register for credit earlier (for reasons of financial aid, etc.) should first complete and submit their non-credit registration to CCE and then contact Karin Larson (larso205@umn.edu) for credit registration permission.

International participants are currently not eligible to enroll for credit because of INS regulations.
