Calculator and Cost of Attendance

Tuition, fees, and assessments are all charged based upon a student’s primary UIS curriculum. Tuition, fee, and assessment amounts are estimates. Actual costs are determined when a student registers for classes each semester and are based on factors such as student level, residency, credit hours, and miscellaneous course fees. 

Tuition, Fees and Assessments by Term

Please note that the amounts listed for the semesters above are accurate but are SUBJECT TO CHANGE without advance notice. Regular tuition, fees, and assessments are charged for courses taken as audit. Review a detailed description of all mandatory fees and assessments (pdf) for more information on fees and assessments.

Additional Information

* Differential tuition is assessed for a few select undergraduate and graduate programs to enrich the educational experience and to maintain the high-quality academic programming students have come to expect from UIS.  A program that assesses differential tuition will be considered the student's primary UIS curriculum, even if a secondary program has been declared.  Additional information regarding graduate student tuition differentials can be found above.
