A full listing of current tuition, fees, room and board, and other University-related expenses is available at either the Admissions or Business Office or on our website http://www.msun.edu/busserv/tuitfees.aspx 

Course Fees

Section 1.02 In addition to the usual tuition and fees paid by students, special fees may be attached to specific courses. Those course fees are used to pay for materials that are damaged or consumed by students, particularly during the laboratory portion of the classes. As a consequence, course fees are most often attached to classes in the sciences, the arts, and technical programs.

On the Montana State University-Northern campus, students who take classes in the following degree areas will often have to pay additional fees because of the courses they take: Art, Automotive, Biology, Carpentry Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, Chemistry, Diesel, Design Drafting, Electrical Technology, Electronics Engineering Technology, Earth Science, Health and Physical Education, Metals Technology, Nursing, and Plumbing Technology. Course fees are also assessed in other program areas, but not as extensively as the previous listing.

To find out if a course fee will be assessed for a particular course, students should refer to the specific course descriptions listed in this catalog.

Due Dates

Fees are due as payments in full the Friday before classes begin.
