The cost of attending The University of Oklahoma includes tuition, fees, books, housing (including room and board), transportation and miscellaneous living expenses. The actual costs of attending the University will vary depending on a student’s resident status, academic level, course load, housing option, personal needs, and spending habits.
The most common student budgets for financial aid recipients are listed in the table “Estimated Costs of Attending OU” located in the Financial Aid Services section. These budgets reflect the estimated costs for the fall and spring semesters. The enrollment costs are based upon enrollment of 15 hours per semester for undergraduates and law students and seven hours per semester for graduate students. Tuition for the undergraduate budgets is based upon a weighted average of lower- and upper-division courses. These budgets reflect standardized costs of attendance developed by Financial Aid Services for the administration of financial aid programs.
