This tuition estimator was designed for estimating current tuition costs, mandatory fees, housing, and other costs assessed by Northern Illinois University for the current term or year. Note: These estimates only represent eligible charges and credits that are billed through the Office of the Bursar.
DISCLAIMER: Keep in mind that these calculations should not be considered your official guaranteed costs at NIU.

Bookstore charges added to your student account will appear on your next monthly account statement or MyNIU account.

Note: Pending financial aid is based on full time enrollment of at least 12 credit hours per semester (but in the case of the MAP Grant 15 credit hours and Huskie Advantage 16 credit hours per semester). Following the add/drop period each semester, financial aid will adjust for enrollment according to the individual program regulations. See Student’s Rights and Responsibilities for details on individual financial aid programs. It is important to note that financial aid eligibility is determined in accordance with the laws, regulations, and appropriation of the U.S. Congress, the State of Illinois, the NCAA, and Northern Illinois University, and is subject to adjustment or cancellation in the event of changes to these laws or your eligibility.
Estimated Totals: If this number is positive, it is an estimate of the amount you'll owe the university. If negative, it is an estimate of potential excess financial aid that may be available to cover your personal expenses.
