New Student Fee

The new student fee of $325 is required for all new first-year and transfer students except for EOP/AIM and Simon STEM Scholar students and can be paid through the SOLAR account. The new student fee should be paid at the same time that you accept your admission and pay your tuition deposit and housing deposit (if applicable). If you do not pay the new student fee when accepting admission, then you should pay it no later than July 1st (Fall Admits) or January 1st (Spring Admits).

The new student fee of $325 provides all services related to the transition of new students into the University including orientation, placement exams, advising and registration, and family and guest orientation. The new student fee will be used to provide these experiences virtually and in person, and to provide appropriate support and resources for the transition of new students into the University.

In addition to the $325 new student fee, all new international students will have an additional $50 International Student Extended Orientation Fee billed to their student accounts to cover the additional expanded programming provided as part of international student orientation.

Students who withdraw from the University within 10 business days of paying their tuition deposit and new student fee and matriculating may be eligible for a partial refund of the $325 New Student Fee prior up to April 30 (Fall Admits) and January 15 (Spring Admits). There will be a $100 processing fee subtracted from the refund. Refunds will not be given after these deadlines, regardless of deposit/matriculation date or whether students have enrolled at the University.
