A full listing of current tuition, fees, room and board, and other University-related expenses is available at either the Admissions or Business Office.

COURSE FEES

In addition to the usual tuition and fees paid by students, special fees are often attached to specific courses.  Those course fees are used to pay for materials that are damaged or consumed by students, particularly during the laboratory portion of the classes.  As a consequence, course fees are most often attached to classes in the sciences, the arts, and technical programs.

On the Montana State University-Northern campus, students who take classes in the following degree areas will often have to pay additional fees because of the courses they take: art, automotive, biology, civil engineering technology, chemistry, diesel, design drafting, electronics engineering technology, earth science, health and physical education, metals technology, and nursing.  Course fees are also assessed in other program areas, but not as extensively as the previous listing.

To find out if a course fee will be assessed for a particular course, students should refer to the specific course descriptions listed in this catalog.  Those course descriptions begin on page 173 of this catalog.
