To help you get a handle on the average costs incurred by most entering students, we've put together the following table. Those who live on campus have several meal plan options to choose from, with the most common choice being used in this estimate.

* Students taking over 18 credits per semester will be charged the flat rate plus $869 per additional credit. Part-time tuition: $869 per credit.

** Books, supplies, personal and travel expenses not included in this figure.

Students taking 12 to 18 credit hours per semester will be charged a flat rate which includes tuition and standard fees, while students who register for fewer than 12 hours will be charged at a per credit rate.

The tuition, fees and other charges referenced in this document are intended for planning purposes only and are subject to change. Please contact us if you have any specific

Meal Plans

For a complete breakdown of the meal plan options, visit Seton Hall's Gourmet Dining Web site.

Students who live on campus must purchase one of the meal plans (I-VI) indicated above. These plans represent a combination of a number of meals per week and a pool of flexible spending funds, called Pirate Dollars, that are placed on an account for the student and can be used like a debit card at all of the dining facilities on campus, but not in the University Bookstore.

Any Pirate Dollars left over at the end of the fall semester will carry over to the spring semester, provided the student purchases a spring meal plan. Unused funds left over at the end of the spring semester are non refundable. If all Pirate Dollars are used before the end of the semester, money can be added to a Pirate's Gold flexible spending account that can be used to purchase meals and/or items in the University Bookstore, as well as other campus vending outlets. 

Commuters may purchase any meal plan or may want to consider a Seton Hall University Pirate's Gold flexible spending account. Further information about meal plans and dining options will be provided at orientation.
