Tuition, Fees, and Scholarship

Tuition information for fall 2026 - spring 2027

How much will it cost to attend the University of Missouri-St. Louis Office of Inclusive Postsecondary Education (OIPE) Succeed Program or Link Certificate Program? We adhere to the current standard University fee of $596 per credit hour. Furthermore, our fees structure is comparable to that of the over 350 inclusive postsecondary education programs across the United States.

While UMSL is regarded a commuter university, we have a large number of the students who opt to live on campus at either Oak Hall or the University Meadows. If pursuing on-campus residence, please consider the fees associated with your housing lease and meal plan.

 

  • Succeed Program: $596 per credit hour x 12 credit hours per semester*
  • Link Program: $2,756 per semester (fee is separate from tuition for UMSL courses)**
  • Housing at Oak Hall: Full rate is currently at $4,128 per semester
  • Housing at University Meadows
  • Meal plan for Oak Hall resident is currently $2,000 per semester for a basic plan***

 

*Total credit hours per semester may vary among UMSL students

**For Link Certificate Program students, please note that the Link fee will activate on the second semester of your first year in the program

***The University is transitioning to a different meal provider and fee structure may change in fall 2026

 

You may use a  cost estimator to determine the net cost to attend the University. Please note that tax and finance and/or service fees will apply (e.g., if paying by credit card). Please use the info below as reference:

Succeed Program: 2-year program, minimum 12 credit hours per semester

Plus Program: 1- to 2-year program, 22 credit hours per year

 

 

Comprehensive Transition and Postsecondary Program (CTP)

The Succeed Program received approval from the United States Department of Education as a Comprehensive Transition and Postsecondary Program (CTP). As a CTP program, students who qualify may receive federal financial aid in the form of the Federal Pell Grant, and the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant. Succeed Students must fill out the FASFA in order to determine eligibility.

Please visit UMSL Student Financial Services website to learn how to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA). Concerned about ineligibility due to your family's income? We still encourage you to fill out the FAFSA in relation to federal work-study for your student.

We currently have four internal scholarships available for non-degree seeking students enrolled in our OIPE Succeed Program.
