Syracuse University fees
Exchange students will receive a tuition grant to come to Syracuse University for each semester they attend.
All students are required to pay the co-curricular fee, the student activity fee and health fee. You will be charged according to how many semesters you will be at SU. These charges will be reflected on your Bursar account.
Student Activity Fee
The student activity fee is a mandatory fee for Main Campus students that is collected by the University on behalf of such student governing bodies as Student Association, Graduate Student Organization, and Law Student Bar Association. This money is then allocated by the student governing bodies to a large number of campus organizations to support their activities and services.
Student Co-Curricular Fee
The student co-curricular fee is a mandatory fee for all undergraduates on the Main Campus. The fee supports such programs and services as recreational and outdoor education, PULSE, crime prevention and safety initiatives, and student leadership development initiatives. Specific allocations may vary and are determined annually.
Health and wellness fee, per semester:
The health and wellness fee is a mandatory fee that supports a comprehensive array of health and wellness services and programs for students. Students can receive services and programs, including individual and group counseling, case management, crisis intervention, and primary and women’s health care services, offered by these departments during the semester for which the fee was paid. Other covered health-related services include University ambulance services, medical transport services, flu shots, nutrition counseling, and short-term psychiatric assessment and intervention.
The health and wellness fee also contributes to other health and wellness promotion programming focused on keeping students safe and healthy and enhancing their overall coping skills and social-emotional development. The health and wellness fee is not health insurance. Health insurance provides students access to medical services beyond those provided through health and wellness fee, including hospitalization, surgery, pharmacy, laboratory services, certain clinical procedures, and services provided by, or referrals to, other specialists, institutions or agencies.
Communications fee (if living on campus), per semester: $200
For more information regarding fees, refer to the Tuition, Fees, and Related Policies Bulletin.

Visit the Bursar website and click “Billing Schedule” to view the billing dates. There are four options to pay your bill. SU will only accept MasterCard, VISA, and Discover credit cards. Please note that there is a convenience fee of 2.7% of the amount charged if paying by credit card.
Course Fees
Some classes require additional expenses not covered by tuition alone. Class fees are generally listed in the schedule of classes online publication and in the MySlice class search function. An explanation of what class fees cover should be included on the syllabus or the student can speak with their professor, department chairperson, or the Dean’s Office (to find out exactly what the fees cover).
