Fee Descriptions

  • Academic Excellence Fee

    Used to enhance academic excellence at the University, including the hiring of faculty to teach additional course sections needed to meet student needs, reduction of class sizes to improve the quality of instruction, operation of instructional facilities to serve UNO's student population, and support services at the heart of the academic enterprise, notably libraries and computing. This fee is $10 per credit hour with a maximum of $120 per semester.

  • Administrative Fee

    Students who withdraw before the 100% refund date of the semester are charged a $50 Administrative fee. In addition, all non-refundable fees (Registration/Late Registration Fee and International Fee) will stay on the student's account.  After the 100% refund date, only 50% of tuition is refunded, but fees are then nonrefundable.  The Undergraduate Drop Fee ($50 per class) is now assessed instead of the Administrative Drop fee.

    Past semester administration fee can be viewed within the Holds, Withdrawal and Fees section of the website on the Administrative Fee Table page.

  • Audit Course

    Tuition and fees for audit classes are the same as enrolling in a credit course. Non-resident students will not be assessed the non-residency fee if the audit course is their only class. Please be aware that certain scholarships may not cover an audit course's tuition and fees. For any questions regarding scholarships or financial aid, please contact the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office or visit their website.

  • Building Use Fee

    The Building Use Fee is authorized by House Bill 671. This fee shall be used to construct, acquire, repair, maintain, operate, or improve the facilities and physical infrastructure of this university.

  • Business Differential Fee

    A Differential Business Fee of $20.00/credit hour will be charged to all students enrolled in any non-MBA business courses. This fee will be used for a number of purposes, all of which allow the UNO College of Business Administration to improve instructional programs and provide an enhanced academic learning experience in business studies. The majority of this fee will be for direct student support and will be used to both retain current students and attract new students. It will permit the college to acquire new equipment and improve facilities. A portion of the fee-generated revenue will be used to help retain the best faculty members and help attract new high-quality faculty members in the future. A smaller portion of the fee will be used to create a discretionary fund that the Dean can use to improve the quality of the business programs as opportunities arise.

  • Campus Enhancement Fee

    Funds will be used to enhance the campus and improve its infrastructure.

    During the Fall 2017 semester, the Student Government Association held an open forum in which general support for this fee was expressed. Planned projects include a walkway in the quadrangle area, making the front of the Earl K. Long Library more accessible to pedestrians, and establishing speed control and safety measures on St. Anthony Street. Additional projects will be forthcoming.

  • College of Education Differential Fee

    A differential fee of $20.00/credit hour will be assessed for all courses in education and human development including those in teacher education, educational administration, counselor education and human performance and health promotion. Courses with already established fees will be exempt (student teaching, teacher internships, and counseling courses). This fee will be used to improve instructional programs and enhance the learning experience for students. More specifically, this fee will be used to support supervised field experiences, develop instructional labs and hands-on technical classrooms (SMART classrooms), enhance and maintain specialized educational facilities and equipment in the exercise physiology laboratory and clinical counseling laboratory, purchase pedagogical resources (assessment tools, manipulatives, software programs, scientific equipment), and provide resources to implement other innovations important for programs of excellence. The remaining funds will be used to offer scholarships and professional development to students.

  • Computer Science Differential Fee

    A Differential Fee of $35.00/credit hour will be charged to all students enrolled in any courses in Computer Science. This fee will be used for a number of purposes, all of which allow the UNO Computer Science program to improve instructional programs and provide an enhanced academic learning experience. The majority of the fee will support student recruitment and retention activities, including tutoring by graduate teaching assistants and undergraduate peer tutors, continuous lab facilities enhancement and other activities to increase degree completers, undergraduate research programs, graduate assistantships, and small need and merit-based scholarships. The remaining portion of the funds will be used for recruitment and retention of high-quality computer science faculty and staff.

  • Course Add Fee

    Students will be charged $50 per day to add a course during the last four or five days of the Late Registration Period. This fee is intended to encourage students to finalize their schedule early to avoid any kind of financial or academic penalty.

  • Distance Learning Fee

    This fee is used to support the extra resources utilized by enrolling in distance learning courses. The fee is imposed for each distance learning course taken by a student which includes internet, compressed video, and televised classes. (All sections in the 400 series). The rate is $20 per course enrolled.

  • Differential Engineering Fee

    The Differential Engineering Fee ($63/credit hour on all Dr. Robert A. Savoie College of Engineering courses) will be used mostly to help and support student success at UNO. We will dedicate a large portion of the fees towards student retention and student recruitment. Student enrichment sessions and small scholarships on an individual basis may be offered. A substantial portion will also be used for new laboratory equipment that is not covered under the lab fees as these are used for consumables and supplies. A smaller portion will be used to recruit and retain faculty and staff. Finally, a portion of the fees will be used to support student projects, student travel to professional conferences. A 5% will be used at the discretion of the dean to help departments with miscellaneous expenses.

  • Extended Campus Fee

    Supports the enhancement of online student support and tutoring, development of new courses and programs, and marketing of online programs.  Charges are $30/credit hour for UGRD courses and $50/credit hour for GRAD courses.

  • Extended Payment Plan Option (EPPO) Fee

    A $50.00 non-refundable EPPO Fee will be assessed to all students who choose to use the EPPO. If you do not elect the EPPO and only pay the minimum balance due by the published due date, you will still be charged the $50 non-refundable EPPO fee.

  • Follet ACCESS Program Fee

    In the spring 2020 semester, the University of New Orleans is introducing a convenient and affordable program that delivers the required materials for your courses in digital or print format by the first day of class. This cost-savings program brings access to course materials at a significantly reduced cost (an average of 62%) compared to traditional physical textbooks and course materials, and helps ensure your success in the course.

This fee is invested to support the MBA program by reducing the size of MBA classes, increasing the number of electives through the hiring of qualified faculty, enhancing the MBA program's promotion, placement and alumni relations activities, raising the stipend of current graduate assistants, and increasing the number of available assistantships. This fee is a nonrefundable and does not apply to Pre-MBA students.
