Undergraduate Tuition Rates (Fall 2023- Summer 2024)

Tuition is assessed by course level, not student classification (i.e. if an Undergraduate student takes a Graduate
level course they are charged the Graduate tuition rate). Other factors that determine the per credit rate are:
residency, admission term, course campus and for some graduate students their college or program of study.
Non-Florida resident students are assessed the same fees as Florida residents plus additional out-of-state fees.

ONE USF- CONSOLIDATION OF USF CAMPUSES

Students with admit term prior to Summer 2020: Per the current USF tuition regulation students that have
maintained uninterrupted active enrollment, are not required to pay the increase in St Pete and Sarasota fees
from the consolidation until Spring 2024. A waiver will be applied to eligible student accounts to cover those
charges through Fall 2023. Changes in a student’s admit term will make them ineligible for the waiver.
Common reasons for admit term changes are being inactive for a semester and changes in enrollment (i.e. non-
degree to degree seeking or Undergraduate to Graduate). Below are the fees that will be waived.
