Tuition and Required Fees

Undergraduate Student Tuition

Audit Tuition ($443 per quarter hour)

Undergraduate students are charged for audited hours above or below bracket tuition. Graduate students are charged for all audited credits. Class fees are charged on audited classes.

See the Undergraduate Bulletin for restrictions on audited classes.

Students with a Walla Walla University cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 who are taking at least 12 hours of non-audited classes pay $10 for each audited course instead of the "per quarter hour" charge. This fee is non-refundable after the fifth day of the quarter. Students in their first quarter at WWU are not eligible for this option because they do not have a WWU cumulative GPA.

Student Missionary Tuition ($15 for 12 credits per quarter)

Participants in the Student Missionary and Task Force programs are registered as full-time students in the Experiential Program, SMTF 100, provided they meet the Student Missions Office’s eligibility criteria and receive financial clearance from Student Financial Services. Registration cannot be retroactive. Contact the Student Missions Office for more information.

Graduate Masters Student Tuition ($695 per quarter hour)

Masters of Engineering Student Tuition ($886 per quarter hour)

Graduate Doctoral Student Tuition ($1,139 per quarter hour)

Education and Biology Masters Student Tuition ($466 per quarter hour/ with teaching contract)

Starting Summer 2022 or later, students are not eligible for WWU grants and scholarships, but may apply for Federal Direct Student Loans. The balance of the tuition not covered by awarded loans must be paid by the financial clearance deadline.

Walla Walla University High School Enrichment Tuition ($250 per class, limited to 4 credits per quarter)

The High School Enrichment Program provides qualified high school seniors the opportunity to enroll in Walla Walla University courses on a space-available basis. Dual credit may be earned for both the high school diploma (at the discretion of the high school) and a university degree. Courses will appear on the university transcript. Any class fees are the responsibility of the student. Please note that high school students do not get a tuition refund after the fifth day into the quarter. This applies for both on-and off-campus housing.

Senior Citizen Audit Tuition ($100 per quarter)

The Senior Citizen Class Program (non-degree seeking) makes it possible for students who are 65 or more years of age to sit in a class (with teacher's permission). Class or lab fees are the responsibility of the student. 

General Fee--Undergraduate ($376 per quarter)

All tuition paying undergraduate students registered for 6 or more hours are required to pay this fee. Taskforce, Student Missionaries and ACA students will be exempt. Besides covering the cost of housing club dues, internet access while on campus, Excess Student Accident Insurance, printing the first 100 pages in computer labs, access to the library, gym, and pool, and new technology for classrooms, etc., the General Fee includes the ASWWU dues which provides for student publications and membership in the Associated Students of Walla Walla University (ASWWU).

Students who are charged the General Fee for less than three quarters will need to pay an additional fee if they wish to receive the yearbook. Students who are exempt from paying the General Fee may purchase publications for prices set by the ASWWU editors.

General Fee--Graduate ($121 per quarter)

All tuition paying graduate students registered for 4 or more hours are required to pay this fee. This fee covers internet access while on campus, Excess Student Accident Insurance, new technology for classrooms, graduation fee, etc. Students on the College Place campus also receive access to the library, gym and pool, and printing the first 100 pages in the computer labs.

Since the General Fee for graduate students does not include ASWWU dues, graduate students wanting campus publications such as the Mask and the yearbook may purchase these publications for prices set by the ASWWU editors.
