How we calculate cost of attendance
Cost of attendance includes a variety of factors associated with the cost of attending
college as a full-time UW student. To help you understand how the University of Wyoming
calculates its cost of attendance for students, we've put together some information
based on our estimates.
All costs displayed on this page are
estimates
and are subject to change and/or approval by the UW Board of Trustees.
Wyoming Resident
- a student who graduated from a high school in the state of Wyoming or a student
who has established residency for tuition purposes, as determined by the Office of
the Registrar, will be considered a Wyoming resident student.
Non-Resident & International
- a student who is not a resident of the state of Wyoming will be considered a non-resident
or international student.
Alumni
- a student who is an out-of-state resident, with either parent having graduated
with a degree from the University of Wyoming, or a student who graduated with a degree
from the University of Wyoming, will qualify for the Children of Alumni tuition benefit.
Based on a
block tuition rate
for undergraduate students enrolled in 12-18 credit hours per semester. If enrolled
in more or less than the block rate, tuition will adjust accordingly.
Fees
include mandatory, advising,
technology
and program. They are applied dependent on enrollment status and courses taken. Advising
fees are $10 per credit hour and program fees vary between $3 and $26 per credit hour.
The technology fee is
