Tuition Plan FAQs for Undergraduates
The University of Dayton's innovative approach to tuition for incoming, full-time (12 to 18 credit hours per semester) undergraduate students includes scholarships that increase in value each year to cover tuition increases, and there are no additional fees that will surprise your family when you receive your bill. Simply stated, what you pay as a first-year student is what you will pay as a senior; your net tuition cost never increases during your four-year UD education.
In addition, the University of Dayton offers up to $4,000 in textbooks to students who attend a campus visit and submit the FAFSA, so families have peace of mind and know exactly how to plan for a successful future.
Our transparent model benefits families of returning students, too, as there are no additional fees or surcharges for things like courses, labs, orientation, etc. Returning students should contact Flyers Student Services with questions regarding their financial aid offer.
No. The University has eliminated all fees and surcharges (including course fees, orientation fees, lab fees, graduation fees, etc.). At other universities, these hidden expenses can cost you more than $12,000 over four years.
The tuition plan is valid for eight semesters of full-time academic study. The plan is placed on hold during co-op terms and will resume once you have returned to classes.
Simply file the FAFSA each year, meet academic requirements as a full-time student (12-18 credit hours per semester) and be a responsible member of the University of Dayton community.
