Tuition and fee charges at DU can include tuition, student activity fees, technology fees, room and board fees, the on-campus parking permit fees, special class assessments and more. Student fees do not include books, off-campus room and board charges, or any other charges accrued to non-University entities.
Tuition and fees are charged each term in which a student registers, and are based on the number of hours in which a student registers. Traditional Undergraduate students registering for classes within their program are billed tuition and technical fees at a flat rate of 12 hours when registering for 12 to 18 credit hours within a term. Students registering for more than 18 hours will be billed for each additional hour taken.
To view tuition rates for specific programs, please see the 2024-2025 Academic Year Tuition Rates.

Billing Agreements, FERPA and Authorized Users
Your Billing Agreement, FERPA and Authorized Users are three separate pieces of information you'll provide to the Office of Student Billing. The Billing Agreement is required for all students, and while FERPA and Authorized users are not required, most students complete these steps to allow designated persons to assist them so they may concentrate on studies.

Authorized Users
DUPay allows you to share your DU tuition account information with multiple authorized users. Authorized users can log into DUPay to view your student account balance and make payments on your behalf. You also have the option to give authorized users access to your statements and payment history.
Authorized users DO NOT have access to your stored payment methods, academic records or other personal information, and you do not have access to your authorized user’s stored payment information. Authorized users are not able to call or email the University and inquire about charges on your statement unless they are also designated on your FERPA release.

The Student Health Insurance Premium is assessed to students registered in six of more credit hours each fall and spring terms. Students may waive participation in the program and the insurance premium provided they are covered under another adequate health insurance policy. For more information about the student health program, visit the Health and Counseling website, or contact them at (303)871-2205.

When and how will I receive my financial aid refund?
All financial aid is disbursed to your tuition account. If the total financial aid proceeds are greater than the total account due, the Office of Student Billing will issue a refund of the excess amount to the student. Refunds can be transmitted directly to the bank account established by the student by setting up a direct deposit transaction. Refunds not set up for direct deposit will be mailed to the Mailing address established by the student.
