Undergraduate Student Costs

Cost of Attendance

The cost of attendance is an estimate of what it costs a typical student to attend USF for one year. It includes tuition and fees, plus other expenses to keep in mind, like housing, food, books, and travel. Your actual costs will vary, depending on whether you live on or off campus or with your parents, and how much financial aid you receive (make sure you apply!).

Notes:

• Tuition is based on full-time enrollment for the academic year (fall and spring semesters). Students taking fewer than 12 credits (or more than 18 credits) will be charged $2,200 per credit during the fall/intersession/spring terms. The summer 2025 rate is $1,475 per credit.
• Fees include:
  • $282 ASUSF student activity fee (supports student services, initiatives, and activities)
  • $310 transportation fee (MUNI pass allowing unlimited rides around the city on buses, streetcars, and subways)
• Housing and food costs are estimates based on the average full-time undergraduate student. See all housing and food costs.
• Tuition, fees, housing, and food costs increase slightly each year. Over the last few years, annual increases have ranged from 2.8% to 4.9%.
• Students enrolling in the USF-sponsored health insurance plan should plan to add $4,100 to their direct costs. If you’ve waived the USF health insurance because you’re already covered under a family member’s plan, you won’t be charged for this.
