Undergraduate Costs of Attendance
At St. Cloud State, we believe in your ability to unlock the unique potential of all students. That’s why we are offering the Be A Husky Rate to all admitted, undergraduate out-of-state, North Dakota, and South Dakota Huskies. This award automatically reduces tuition costs for students coming to St. Cloud State from other states.
St. Cloud State’s flat-rate tuition allows full-time undergraduate students taking 12-18 credits to pay one flat rate for their tuition. In that 12-18 credit band, students can take more credits without paying more tuition, increasing their ability to graduate on time. Fees vary at different credit loads. Business Services handles the billing and tuition process. You can find a breakdown of tuition by credit hour here.
The chart below shows estimated Fall 2024, Spring 2025, and Summer 2025 costs based on 12-18 credits per semester for a student living on campus with a Husky Anytime Meal Plan.
