Tuition & Privilege Fees 

Summer 2020

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, all Kansas State University summer school courses across all of our campuses will be administered online. In recognition of this unprecedented time, we have developed a revised summer 2020 tuition and fee structure for undergraduate and graduate courses, available here: https://www.k-state.edu/finsvcs/cashiers/costs/summer-2020/

Fall 2020 / Spring 2021

Tuition and Privilege Fees on the Polytechnic campus are charged each semester according to the above schedule, which is based on the student's number of credit hours and the type of tuition. Tuition for on-campus courses is charged at either the resident or non-resident rate, according to the student's residency classification. Click here for the Office of the Registrar's information about residency. Tuition for online or off-campus courses is charged at one rate regardless of residency classification. 

Click 'Tuition and Fee Details' below to view other tuition types and the individual rates from which this schedule is calculated. Note that the schedule above is based on fall and spring Privilege Fee rates. Summer Privilege Fees are less than during fall or spring so a student's summer enrollment will be less than shown on the above schedule.

Class Books & Materials (purchased on your own)

Most classes require books or other materials, such as flight uniforms, online subscriptions, etc. Students make these purchases on their own, so these items are not be billed through KSIS. The K-State Campus Store conveniently offers many of these materials; however, students are free to choose any retailer so costs will vary for each individual.
