Tuition & Mandatory University Fees

Tuition and fees at Georgia Southern University are set and approved each year by the University System of Georgia. Rates typically change beginning with the fall semester. The University reserves the right to adjust tuition and fee amounts without prior notice, and changes may apply to both current and incoming students.

The tuition and fee schedules provide an estimate of expenses including tuition, mandatory university fees, housing, meals, books, and supplies. Actual costs are determined when a student registers for classes each semester and are based on factors such as student level, residency status, credit hours, course-specific fees, and selected housing and meal plans.

All official charges are reflected on the student’s online invoice via WINGS, available through the MyGeorgiaSouthern portal. For system-wide details, visit the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia website under Tuition, Fees, and Financial Aid.
