Tuition
This is an Extended Campus program, which means a flat per-credit tuition rate for all students (in-state or out-of-state/international) and no student fees or technology fees. Please note: some courses may include assessment, course, participation or supervision fees for additional services and materials. Most Extended Campus courses do not include these fees, but you can check the current course-specific UNC Academic Fees. Note: Program Fees do not apply to Extended Campus.
Program tuition for the 2024-25 academic year (which runs Fall, Spring, and Summer terms) is $636 per credit hour. Tuition for the 2025-26 academic year will be determined mid-June 2025.
For information about paying your bill, including UNC's BearPay monthly payment option, visit the Bursar's Office Your Bill page.
Estimates of additional costs: For the purposes of determining financial aid, UNC follows Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) and federal guidelines to develop an estimated, average Cost of Attendance (budget) for different student classifications. For your personal tuition estimates, we recommend using the program-specific tuition information above. But UNC's official Cost of Attendance/Student Budgets page can help you identify other estimated expenses for which you may be responsible while completing your program.
Upcoming Courses
Textbook requirements are available six weeks before each course begins. To find books for the courses you have registered for, go to Ursa and choose My Textbooks under the Student tab. Textbooks are also submitted to the UNC Bookstore, which is one option for you to purchase them.
