A: All tuition will be charged based on the RESIDENCY of the student. Additional information about the different residency groups can be found here.
- ndsc-Wahpeton类 – students will not be affected by this update, since tuition had previously been charged according to the residency of the student.
- ndsc-Fargo & ndsc-Online类 – students may notice a slight difference in their tuition costs, since tuition was previously charged at a rate equivalent to what a ND Resident would pay. (Online classes will continue to have a per-credit Distance Access Fee.)
