NOTES:
  1. Non-Idaho Resident UndergraduateTuition & Fees $14,712 = $4,632 Fees + $10,080. WUE (Western Undergraduate Exchange) recipients pay $6,948 = 150% of the $4,632 Fees which is a $7,764 savings in tuition.
  2. Room and Board costs vary; the figures listed above reflect average costs of living expenses on or off campus. Students who live with their parents, non-traditional students or students who have their children living with them receive different budgets. Other than these situations, a student's living arrangement does not affect the budget used by Student Financial Aid Services.
  3. Book costs are based on an average for a full load of courses for one academic year. The average cost may vary from one year to the next. This also includes an average cost for course related supplies.
  4. Miscellaneous and Personal includes items such as clothing, health insurance, special course fees, personal care products, laundry, etc.
