These are estimated expenses for the average student and are subject to change without notice. Your budget will vary depending on your state of residence and the type of housing you select. For more information on University fees and tuition, please phone the Admissions Office at 765-494-1776.


Student Budget Plan

University fees and tuition are due about one month before each term. Through a Student Budget Plan, you can pay tuition, fees, and dormitory expenses in installments instead of one lump sum. A 10-month contract requires equal monthly payments beginning May 1, before the beginning of the school year, and ending February 1. There is no finance or interest charge, just a $35 application fee. This plan is administered through the Bursar's Office at Purdue University.
