Summer tuition and fees

Current VCU degree-seeking students

Tuition rates for the summer 2024 session are now available on the tuition and fees calculator. During Summer Studies, students are billed for tuition, housing and dining charges and other university fees based on registration dates and not the start dates of the various sessions. Payment is due by the date listed on the invoice. There is no installment payment plan for summer sessions.

Nondegree-seeking students

The first time students register as a nondegree-seeking student, they must meet one or more conditions of eligibility, outlined in the VCU bulletin. Summer tuition and fees are based on the course, student level and residency.
