Tuition and Fees

The information in this web site is provided to better assist students in assessing the cost of enrolling at the University of North Texas Health Science Center (HSC). While this information is intended to be comprehensive, tuition and fees, are subject to increase or decrease by action of the Texas Legislature and/or the Board of Regents of University of North Texas. Students are responsible for any additional amounts due HSC resulting from post audits and corrections, including all fees and waivers; i.e. registration assessing errors, changing from off-campus to on-campus classes, invalid employment waivers, etc.

HSC is a state-supported institution and, as such, is subject to state laws. Since state law prohibits the extension of credit, all financial obligations to the university must be made when due. The university cannot cash checks made payable to it and the student. Checks made payable to the university and the student can be applied to a student’s account balance after obtaining the proper endorsement.

For school and program specific tuition and fee amounts, please click on the links found on the left side of this website.

The Cost of Attendance (COA), also known as a student’s budget, is the estimated average amount it will cost a student to attend for a period of enrollment at HSC. Cost of Attendance figures at HSC include required fixed costs such as tuition, fees, books, and supplies and allowances for living expenses such as food and housing, transportation, and some personal expenses.  The COA is determined by the most accurate and up to date information at that time, however some figures may vary based on new information throughout the academic year.
