While the actual price that a student pays depends on a variety of factors, the federal government calculates the average net price that a student can expect to pay. The net cost takes into account the average assistance students receive, including financial aid from the school as well as state and federal grants.

The latest net price provided by this calculator was for the 2014-15 school year and was $33,682. Back then, UR's undergraduate tuition and fees were $46,960 and the total cost before financial aid was $63,268.

UR's board of trustees approved the 2017-18 tuition rates for all schools at a February meeting. At UR's professional schools, the tuition rates will be:

Simon Business School: $46,000 — the same as this school year.

School of Nursing’s three-semester accelerated program will total $66,250, a 4 percent increase.

Warner Graduate School of Education: $46,081, a 3.6 percent increase.

School of Medicine and Dentistry: $54,600, a 4.2 percent increase.
