Tuition
KU’s tuition rate is reviewed every year by KU leadership and approved by the Kansas Board of Regents. Some years, tuition increases, while in other years we are able to keep it flat. Know that KU takes tuition seriously, and communicates transparently about changes to rates and how your dollars are spent.
Housing
The next largest cost for students may be housing. KU offers a range of on-campus options so that students can make a choice based on their priorities, whether they’re location, amenities, culture, or cost.
Many students choose to live in our newest residence halls on Daisy Hill; others choose more private apartments; some apply to live in KU’s one-of-a-kind scholarship halls, which offer lower cost living for a share of cooking and chores.
Dining
As everyone’s dining preferences and dietary needs differ, students can access a variety of flexible plans through KU Dining Services. Plans can include campus retail dining as well as access to residential dining centers.
Books
Books and materials used in the completion of coursework can be expensive. That's why KU Libraries encourages the use of and access to open educational resources, which are free for students and faculty members.
Fees
Campus fees support health and wellness, recreation facilities, campus unions, transit, child care, campus sustainability, the university’s newspaper and radio station, and other resources accessible to all KU students. Depending on major, students also pay course fees to support academic programs and instruction in their specific schools.
