Tuition is assessed each semester based on residency and hours enrolled. The amount that students pay in tuition and required fees represents a sizeable and important investment in their future. However, student payments alone do not cover the full cost of providing any of Auburn¹s educational programs.

Even after state appropriations are included, some programs require funding through additional fees in order to provide the high-quality learning environment that students expect. Like the basic tuition and fees, these additional amounts help to cover not only the direct costs of providing instruction and advising in these programs but also indirect costs associated with Auburn’s role as a comprehensive center of higher education for the state.

Additional fees for individual programs are assessed as follows:

• Undergraduate students in the Raymond J. Harbert College of Business based on classification.
• Undergraduate students in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering based on classification and term enrolled.
• Undergraduate students in the Honors College based on year of participation.
• Undergraduate students in the College of Architecture, Design and Construction (CADC) based on enrollment in specific CADC courses. For the academic terms fees may be applied, review the curriculum for your major in the Auburn Bulletin.
• Undergraduate students in the College of Nursing based on clinical hours enrolled.
• Professional students in the Harrison College of Pharmacy.
• Professional students in the College of Veterinary Medicine based on term enrolled.
• Graduate students in the Raymond J. Harbert College of Business based on hours enrolled.
