The annual tuition permits a student to take 12 or more semester hours each semester. Students who take fewer than 12 semester hours in a single semester pay $1,125 per semester hour instead of the full tuition.

The university requires Susquehanna-sponsored health and accident insurance for all full-time students. The health insurance cannot be waived under any circumstances.

Student activity and health fees are not refundable if the student withdraws (please refer to Refunds section).

Students and their families should estimate approximately $750 per year to cover the costs of textbooks. They also need to plan for additional personal costs including laundry, supplies, transportation, organizational dues and spending money.

Late Payment Fee. A late payment fee of 1.5 percent per month is charged on past-due balances. A past-due balance is the previous balance less any payments received during the month and does not include current month charges. The university will waive late charges for pending financial aid (not including campus employment awards –– Federal Work Study) processed by the Susquehanna University Office of Financial Aid before payment due dates. Students and their parents or legal guardians will be responsible for payment of all costs, including collections fees and attorney fees, incurred by the university in collecting balances.

Other Fees. Additional fees may be charged for individual courses. Students pay an additional $300 per semester for individual music lessons (one-half hour per week) that are not required to complete their degree. Music fees are posted to student accounts by the end of September for the fall semester and the end of February for the spring semester.
