Tuition, Fees, Room and Board

Tuition and fees are delineated in the following section and they are subject to change for the academic year. The Board of Trustees of Niagara University reserves the right to alter the schedule of fees. Current rates may be obtained from the appropriate director or the Office of Student Accounts.

Undergraduate Tuition 

*The level tuition plan is available to new full-time freshmen entering in the fall only. Rates are locked in for 8 consecutive semesters. The deadline to enroll is September 1. No late applications will be accepted.

**Normal full-time semester program equals 15-credit hours. A student must be enrolled in at least 12-credit hours to be considered full-time. Students enrolled in more than 18 credit hours will be assessed an additional tuition charge of $1,265 per credit hour.

In calculating the overall cost of a degree program, it is important to remember that some majors require more than the standard 120 credit hours, and some majors require students to take more than 18 credit hours in a semester. Students enrolled in these programs may incur additional charges at the per-credit-hour rate. Students may also incur additional charges for non-credit developmental courses. Likewise, students should know that some majors require additional fees. Please check the hour requirements of your major before determining your costs and fees.
