Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

Tuition
In-State Tuition In-state tuition is the tuition charged by institutions to those students who meet the state's or institution's residency requirements. In-district tuition is the tuition charged by the institution to those students residing in the locality in which they attend school and may be a lower rate than in-state tuition if offered by the institution.

Out-of-State Tuition Out-of-state tuition is the tuition charged by institutions to those students who do not meet the state's or institution's residency requirements.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

This school offers many scholarships once you have been accepted. They offer them for GPA, and a really great one is for going to school overseas. I think that encourages more overseas students to enroll at UD.
Kaitlyn from El Paso, TX
it sounds like it will definitely be worth the money if you can afford it. i have talked to a few people in the computer graphics field and they say it is the best college/university around for computer graphics/interactive media, which is what i plan on going into.
Nathaniel from Cedar Falls Iowa, IA
I think we can obtain a little bit more for the money we pay, but still okay.
Alvaro Nicolas from Dubuque, IA
UD really tries to give you as much financial aid they can. Many students get financial aid for their grades. Even if you're not a straight A student, you will still get money. They help as much as they can and understand college is expensive and they try to lighten the load on the money you will be spending.
