Tuition and Fees

Students attending UMBC's academic programs offered at The Universities at Shady Grove receive the same quality education that they would if attending our main campus. Therefore, students also pay the same tuition. However, because the facilities and services available to students differ between the two locations, students attending Shady Grove have a different fee structure than that on campus. Below you will find a complete listing of the Tuition and Fees for the Fall 2012 semester.

NOTE: Notwithstanding any other provision of this or any other University publication, the University reserves the right to make changes in tuition, fees, and other charges at any time such changes are deemed necessary by the University and the University System of Maryland Board of Regents.
