Understanding UConn Graduate Tuition Rates and Fees
For international students and their families, the total cost of education is a crucial consideration. Tuition, covering all classes during enrollment at UConn, often represents the most significant investment in education abroad. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of UConn graduate tuition rates, fees, payment policies, and related financial information.
Tuition and Fees: An Overview
Tuition at UConn is the same for all programs. However, the overall cost for attending UConn depends on your program of study and personal spending habits. University and student fees are the same for all students across all degree programs. It's essential to understand that the Board of Trustees and the Board of Governors for Higher Education retain the right to authorize changes applicable to all currently enrolled students at any time. Revisions in the State’s budget may force changes.
Payment Policies and Responsibilities
Knowing the cost of your education is one thing, knowing when to submit applications, documents and payments is another. It is each student’s financial responsibility to make payments by the specified due dates. Failure to receive a bill does not relieve a student of payment responsibility. Students are required to agree to the Student Financial Responsibility Agreement once every academic year. This agreement is a statement of the financial obligations and responsibilities each student assumes while attending UConn. Payment in full is required and no exceptions to this policy are granted for partial payment, unless enrolled in one of the University’s offered payment plans. Failure to make payment on time will result in cancellation of the privileges accorded to a student such as, but not limited to, use of recreational facilities and other University services, and the ability to register for future semesters.
A late payment fee is payable by all students whose tuition and fees are not paid in full on the published due date. Late payment fees may be assessed twice a semester. Checks returned by the bank for any reason are considered late payments and the student may be charged a returned check fee. Students may have services denied if all required payments have not been made by the due date.
Adjustments and Cancellations of Tuition and Fees
The following is general information regarding cancellations and adjustments of tuition and fees. All graduate students who withdraw from the University for any reason must secure from The Graduate School acknowledgement of their withdrawal and arrange the details of their leaving by completing a Voluntary Separation Notification form (see grad.uconn.edu/graduate-students/voluntary-separation/). No adjustments are made unless this procedure is followed.

Adjustments or cancellations of charges are available on the following schedule for students whose programs are interrupted or terminated prior to or during a regular academic semester. The tuition and fee adjustment schedule applies to students taking an approved leave of absence, which follows the University’s official withdrawal process. When notice is received prior to the first day of classes of a semester, a full refund (less ineligible fees) will be made if the charges have been paid in full.
Registration and Active Status for Graduate Students
The Graduate School regulations require registration in each semester by all graduate degree and certificate students, with the exception of those students on an academic leave of absence approved and processed by The Graduate School. All graduate students who fail to complete initial course registration by the end of the tenth day of classes of any semester will be dropped from active status. A student who has been dropped from active status may request reinstatement within one year.
Financial Aid and Affordability
Many international students lower their overall financial burden through on-campus employment. Part-time on-campus jobs are also good for building up your résumé and developing important skills for career readiness. The Office of Student Financial Aid Services is dedicated to working closely with students and their families to ensure all UConn students receive maximum financial aid consideration. At UConn we partner with you to help navigate the Financial Aid process to ensure you are well informed of the costs associated with obtaining a degree at all of our campuses.
