Other Fees

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. They are considered non-refundable fees.


Student Fees Explained

To help make sense of specific UNO student fees and why they may apply to you, UNO Student Government; Institutional Effectiveness and Student Success; and Student Life and Wellbeing have collected answers to the following questions:

  • What are UNO's four course delivery types?
  • How does course delivery impact the kind of fees you receive?
  • What do the fees pay for?
  • What should you do if finances are an issue?
  • Who should you contact if you have more questions about student fees?


What are UNO’s four course delivery types?


In order 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 four different course delivery options. They are:

  • In-Person Instruction (001 sections): This is when instructors and students attend class together on UNO’s campus, or sometimes in field work, internships, service learning, or in the community.
  • Remote Instruction (820 sections): This is when instructors and students meet via digital technology – like Zoom – at scheduled times.
  • Online Instruction (850 sections): This form of course delivery relies almost entirely on digital student-instructor interactions, with students able to interact with each other and the instructor at flexible hours.
  • Hybrid Instruction (860 sections): When a course is taught through a mix of in-person instruction and either remote or online instruction, it is referred to as "hybrid instruction."

How does course delivery impact the kind of fees you receive?

On-campus tuition and fee rates apply to 001 sections, while online tuition and fee rates apply to sections, 820, 850, and 860. View rate charts for specific charges.

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

Students in online or remote instruction (820 and 850) are not subject to UPF fees.

NOTE: If you are enrolled in only remote or online classes, you may not have access to some of the on-campus services that the UPF supports.

"I’m being asked to pay fees, but what do they pay for?"


Online Distance Education Fee:
The purpose of the online fee is to provide resources needed for developing and supporting a course that significantly utilizes learning technologies. Specifically, the costs associated with instructional design and support; faculty development and training; accessibility and other quality standard; course development; and learner orientation, communication, and support.

University Programs and Facilities Fee (UPF): UPFs support a variety of on-campus and online student programs and services. Whether you’ve been part of the UNO community for a matter of weeks or years, you have likely utilized or benefitted from a UPF-supported program, such as:

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

If you would like to learn more about what your student fees support, you can find detailed descriptions in our Schedule of Student Charges.

What should you do if finances are an issue?

UNO is dedicated to maintaining costs in several ways, including scholarships and incentives programs; currently freezing tuition rates; reducing the tuition rate for online/hybrid/remote courses for undergraduate students, and reducing online tuition rates for non-resident students in the Metropolitan Advantage Program.

If you are a current student experiencing financial hardship, you should contact the UNO Office of Financial Support & Scholarships. In addition, there are limited hardship scholarships available. To learn more, contact the Dean of Students.


Who should you contact if you have more questions about fees?

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. Still, 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.
