Cost of attendance

The University prepares cost of attendance (COA) figures in order to calculate financial aid eligibility for students. If you do not receive financial aid, you may use the following figures to estimate enrollment costs. Your specific tuition and fees charges will appear in your University student account in the My Finances tab of MyU a few weeks before the start of your classes (enrollment period).

Actual costs may differ depending on your academic program, coursework, and personal spending choices.

The total amount of financial aid offered to a student, including all scholarships and grants, cannot exceed the cost of attendance at the University of Minnesota Duluth for that aid year. Financial aid offers (e.g., loans, work study, scholarships, or grants) may be reduced for students whose total aid exceeds the cost of attendance.

If you are a freshman, the Net Price Calculator may also be helpful in determining your eligibility for need-based aid.

2024-25 Estimated undergraduate cost of attendance

For undergraduate students, COA figures are based on the cost of enrolling in 13 or more credits per semester. If you take fewer than 13 credits, you will be charged on a per-credit basis.

The Estimated Cost of Attendance Worksheet will help you determine your costs for the 2024-2025 academic year.

  • Swenson College of Science & Engineering students: The Swenson College of Science & Engineering has an additional $500 (per year) in tuition expenses assessed by the college for undergraduates. That will not be shown in the charts below, but will be included when calculating your financial aid eligibility.
  • International students: Costs are calculated differently due to visa requirements. See Undergraduate Costs for Full-Time International Students.

Cost of attendance expense categories

Cost of attendance is based on five expense categories.

Expand all

Tuition and fees

Tuition and fees are determined by the University Board of Regents each July.

Books, course materials, supplies, and equipment

This figure is based on how much a typical full-time student would need to spend on books, paper, and other academic supplies in order to complete an average credit load. 

Housing and food

The estimated housing and food figures vary based on living situation (e.g., in a University residence hall or at home with family).

Transportation

This figure is based on the approximate cost of a student’s drive to and from their hometown five times during the academic year. The University does not include the cost of a personal vehicle in its estimated figure.

Personal and miscellaneous expenses

The figures for this category include things like toiletries, laundry, and clothing.

If you have expenses that are not taken into account in the standard budget, you may contact One Stop Student Services to submit a cost of attendance appeal form. Your budget will be reviewed and your financial aid eligibility will be re-evaluated.

Residency and reciprocity

If there is uncertainty about whether you are considered a Minnesota resident, review the Residency, Reciprocity, and Tuition Exemption booklet. The booklet contains the University's official policy and an application for resident evaluation.

The University has reciprocity agreements with the states of Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the province of Manitoba, Canada. If you are a resident of any of these states or provinces, you may qualify for the reciprocity tuition rate, which is comparable to resident rates.
