Graduate, business and law tuition
| Program and load | Latter-day Saint | Other |
|---|---|---|
| Graduate, fall or winter, 8.5+ credits | $4,468 | $8,936 |
| Graduate, fall or winter, 1-8 credits | $524 per credit | $1,048 per credit |

| Business or Law, fall or winter, per credit | $968 | $1,936 |
Law students pay the regular graduate rate in spring and summer, BYU says, because no law classes are offered those terms.
Who pays which rate
BYU charges church members less than non-members. Its enrollment page says a student counts as a member for a semester or term if they were baptized at any time during it. Utah residency doesn't matter: BYU is private and doesn't use the resident and nonresident rates that public schools such as UVU charge. Our guide to Utah residency for in-state tuition covers how that works at UVU.
When it's due, and what happens if it isn't paid
BYU Financial Services says tuition is due seven days before each semester or term begins. An unpaid balance puts a hold on registration, and if it's still unpaid at the add/drop deadline, classes are dropped. Course-specific fees are separate and listed on BYU's class fees page.
Dropping a class, and refunds
BYU's catalog says the share of tuition you're charged for a dropped class climbs the later you drop it, stepping through 15%, 25%, 50% and 100%, with the exact dates set for each semester and block. Refunds usually go out about ten days after the drop, by check, direct deposit or back to the card you paid with. Two catches: refunds aren't paid in cash when tuition was covered by a loan, scholarship or benefit, and students with federal aid who drop below half time may have to return part of it. Exceptions are considered for things like a death in the family, a medical emergency or military leave, but not for not knowing the policy.
Health insurance: the catalog says students taking 9 or more credits in fall or winter must have adequate medical insurance, and those who don't pick a plan may be enrolled in the Student Health Plan and charged the premium.
Tuition is only part of the bill
Tuition is one line in a student's budget. Our cost of living in Provo guide and the student budget calculator put tuition next to rent, food and transportation, and our BYU student guide covers the rest of starting at BYU.
