Financial Aid
Students are usually supported by research and teaching assistantships as well as fellowships and traineeships from federal agencies and industry. This support normally includes a competitive stipend plus tuition. Specific information may be obtained from the department or school in which the student plans to enroll.

Tuition and Cost
For the full-time graduate student, the tuition for the academic year 2007-2008
is $34,580. Tuition for the part-time student is $1,922 per semester credit hour.

In the academic year, the normal charge for an audited course is one half the current credit hour fee. However, a full-time graduate student may audit a course, or courses, without charge. The department determines the definition of full time.

Most students receive financial aid. Details are provided by individual departments.

Fees
Application Fee - $50
The nonrefundable application fee is $50 ($35 if submitted by December 1 for

Through this infrastructure, all students are given access to the Internet, e-mail, courseware, institutional file space, and a wide array of software. The infrastructure also provides access to these products and services through various means, including campus clusters and ResNet, and from remote locations through direct dial-in. The $250 fee will be assessed at $125 per semester.

Living and Housing
Costs
Notre Dame is a residential university and a number of on-campus living accommodations are available to graduate students. Several meal plans are also available. A number of apartment complexes are located in the surrounding community. The cost of living is significantly lower than that in large metropolitan areas.


Applying
Applicants should have the results of the General Test and appropriate Subject Test of the Graduate Record Examinations, one transcript of previous academic credits and degrees earned, and letters of recommendation from three college teachers sent to Graduate Admissions at least six months prior to the beginning of the academic session in which enrollment is sought.

The application fee is $50 ($35, if application is submitted before December 1).
