*Tuition and fees are determined annually by the University’s Board of Trustees and are subject to change without notice.
**The university’s comprehensive fee is a consolidation of individual course and campus-required fees. This single fee replaces the prior fees for technology support, printing, labs, facilities, tutoring, student activities and other course fees. It does not replace individual on-demand and non-required service fees (i.e., private music lessons, transcript services, health insurance, and parking). All students at St. Edward's University pay the Comprehensive Fee
***Student wellbeing is essential for success. As such, the university will continue to require that all registered students (enrolled in 6 or more hours) have health insurance. Students are automatically enrolled in the university's health insurance unless they successfully complete the waiver process documenting a private healthcare plan. Learn more about SHIP. This is an estimated figure.
****New-freshman are required to live on campus and purchase a university meal plan. Visit the Campus Living page to learn more.
