The Student Access & Success Fee supports direct services for students in admissions, registration, and other campus services. Through these programs students are provided with resources to assist them in their campus needs. This fee is assessed to all students, regardless of residency or campus location.

All students enrolled in any on-campus (001) or partially online (860) sections will be assessed the UPF fee. Students enrolled in ONLY remote (820), online (850) and/or hybrid remote (870) sections will be assessed 50% of the UPF fee.  The online UPF fee only applies to non-resident students living in the state of Nebraska and resident students.    

This fee supports a variety of on campus and online student programs and services, such as:

  • Counseling and Psychological Services
  • The Nebraska Medicine-UNO Health Center
  • Transportation Services
  • Campus Recreation
  • A wide variety of activities and programs affiliated with the Milo Bail Student Center

UPF fees are divided into two separate funds: Fund A and Fund B student fees.

Fund A

The Fund A UPF fee is established and allocated by the elected Student Government subject to the approval of the chancellor in accordance with Board of Regents policy.

The Fund A portion ($26.48 of the full rate or $13.24 of the half rate) of the UPF fee is refundable during the first 30 days of each term. The student must complete the Fund A refund form and return it to the Cashiering/Student Accounts Office in person or by email at unocsa@unomaha.edu.

The refund will be applied to the student account balance first or refunded to the student. Students requesting a Fund A refund will no longer be entitled to the student activities supported by the Fund A student fees listed below:

  •  Student Government (including Student Legal Services)
  • Maverick Productions
  • The Gateway Newspaper   

Fund B

The Fund B UPF fee is designed for services, staff salaries, maintenance of facilities and related expenses, and those additional items designated by the chancellor. This portion is budgeted separately with emphasis upon continuing support. The vice chancellor for Student Affairs submits the projections to the President and the Board of Regents for their final approval.

Fund B portion of the UPF fee is not refundable unless the student drops classes during the first week of the semester.

Other UNO Department Charges

The following charges are billed in the same manner as tuition and fees and are subject to late payment fees and student account holds.

To comply with Department of Education guidelines, you may only charge your books and supplies to your UNO student account of up to $2,000 per semester. Other bookstore items, such as apparel, food, etc., cannot be charged to your UNO student account. Ask for or select this payment method when checking out with your purchase.

At the conclusion of each term, any non-returned rental books will be charged back to your student account, including all applicable replacement fees and fines.

Review your bookstore rental agreement for more detailed information.

In addition to normal tuition and student fees, course-related fees may be charged to your student account. These are fees deemed necessary by the department to pay for laboratory use, materials costs, or other costs incurred in the offering of a course to you.

Inquiries about the assessment of course fees should be directed to the department offering the course. Course fees are considered non-refundable fees.

Parking permits must be purchased online and are charged directly to your student account. Parking violations more than 30 days outstanding with the Parking Office are placed on the student account.

For more specific information please refer to Parking Services.

Student Fees Explained

To help make sense of specific UNO student fees and why they may apply to you, you can review the answers to our most commonly asked questions below.

To understand your student fees, the first and most important thing to know is this: How a course is being delivered will determine the type of fees that are assessed.

The university offers five different course delivery options.

  • In-Person Instruction (001-099 sections): Students and instructors attend class together on UNO’s campus, or sometimes in field work, internships, service learning, or in the community.
  • Remote Instruction (820-829 sections): Students could be located anywhere but must be available at class times and should have reliable learning space and internet access to attend virtually at scheduled times.
  • Totally online Instruction (850-859 sections): Students could be located anywhere and access course content and activities at any time with reliable internet access.  Students may interact with each other and the instructor at flexible hours.
  • Partially online Instruction (860-869 sections): Students are usually located close enough to Omaha to be able to attend a reduced number of class meetings (usually 6 -8) on or near campus during the semester. Referred to as "hybrid in-person instruction."
  • Hybrid remote Instruction (870-879 sections): Students could be located anywhere but must be available at a reduced number of virtual class meetings (usually 6-8) and should have reliable learning space and internet access to attend. 

  • On-campus tuition and fee rates apply to 001 sections, while online tuition and fee rates apply to sections, 820, 850, 860, and 870.

  • Students enrolled in on-campus (001) or hybrid (860) courses will be assessed for University Programs and Facilities Fees (UPF).

  • Students enrolled in ONLY remote (820), online (850) and/or hybrid remote (870) sections will be assessed 50% of the UPF fee. The online UPF fee only applies to non-resident students living in the state of Nebraska and resident students.

If you are a current student experiencing financial hardship, you should contact the UNO Office of Financial Support and Scholarships.

In addition, there are limited hardship scholarships available. To learn more, contact the Dean of Students.

UNO is recognized as one of the best values in the state and the region, and tuition and fees at UNO are well below many of its in-state peers. UNO strives to keep tuition and fees as low as possible, recognizing that every dollar you pay for your education is a precious resource and at the same time an investment in your academic progress and future.

We are happy to explain how fees are decided and provide resources for financial support to help cover any fees.

If you have specific questions regarding tuition and fees, please contact Cashiering and Student Accounts at 402.554.2324 or by email at unocsa@unomaha.edu.
