What Else You Need to Know About Tuition & Fees

Vermont Tuition Rate vs. Out-of-State Tuition Rate

Residency status is determined when you are admitted to the university and generally remains the same throughout a student's UVM career.

Audited Courses

Tuition and fee charges are the same whether a course is taken as an audit or for credit.

Enrollment in Multiple Degree Programs

If you are enrolled in multiple degree programs simultaneously, standard tuition rates will apply to all courses (including specific approved special reduced tuition rate programs).

Accelerated Master's Programs
