The University of Missouri assesses tuition based on the student’s primary academic plan and their location (distance or on-campus). For students pursuing multiple degrees and/or certificates, they will be assessed the higher plan rate. Tuition rates are locked after the last day to add full session courses. Students who switch academic plans during the semester will see their new tuition rate (if applicable) the following semester.
There are three tuition tiers for undergraduate students. There is a plateau (a flat rate charge) during the fall and spring semesters for students who take 12 to 18 credit hours. There is no plateau during the summer. Full-time enrollment for undergraduate students is defined as 12-18 hours per term (Fall & Spring). Students enrolled in less than 12 hours will be assessed per credit hour. Students who enroll in more than 18 hours will pay the plateau rate and a per credit hour rate for each additional hour over 18 credit hours.
- The due date for the Fall 2025 semester is September 10th, 2025.
- The due date for the Spring 2026 semester is February 10th, 2026.
