Tuition and Fees

ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì works to ensure that students have an accurate estimation of tuition costs and fees for studying at ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì-Madrid. Find complete information on costs, payment and other financial information below.

Academic Year 2024-2025

U.S. citizens, except those with official residency outside the United States, pay the U.S. dollar 2024-2025 published rates of $14,080 for permanent undergraduate, full-time tuition and $16,720 for first-semester transfer and non-ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì visiting students.

These students receive a bill from the St. Louis campus at their permanent U.S. address. For more information on payment procedures and payment plans, visit Student Financial Services.

Undergraduate students enrolled in the fall or spring semester who take fewer than 12 credit hours pay the part-time per-credit-hour rate. Students taking more than 18 credit hours pay the part-time per-credit-hour rate for each credit hour taken above 18 in addition to the full-time flat price indicated. Graduate students pay on a per-credit basis.

All registered students taking classes for credit are automatically covered by a Sanitas medical insurance policy. Students taking a course load of only online classes will not be covered by Sanitas. However, if they are physically in Spain, they can purchase Sanitas coverage through the University at 40 euros per calendar month. To do so, students may contact the Office of Finance at finance-madrid@slu.edu. 

A cafeteria fee will be assessed to all full-time undergraduate students in fall and spring terms that is loaded onto their IDs for use in The Unity, Sodexo's cafeteria. If a student fully withdraws during a particular term, a refund of this fee will only be processed upon the return of their ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì ID with the full unused credit to the Office of Finance within three business days of the withdrawal date. Exceptions will only be made for students who have not attended any orientation events or classes.

ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì-Madrid's IT department sets print quotas at 500 pages per fall/spring term for undergraduates. Additional printing (per 50 pages) can be purchased in the Office of Finance.

Students who defer their admission from a summer session to the fall or spring semester must pay for the difference between the confirmation fees of 175 euros. In addition, first-year or transfer students who enter during a summer semester must also pay this difference.

Billing and Payment Information

For non-U.S. students, account summary statements for tuition are sent to the students' ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì email, which is how the University officially communicates with students. It is the responsibility of our students to forward this information, if necessary, to those whom they consider appropriate.

U.S. citizens with permanent residency outside the U.S. who do not apply for U.S. financial aid may pay their tuition fees directly to the Madrid campus. Students must indicate this on their application forms and provide proof of residency outside the U.S. For these students, non-U.S. conditions will apply.

Non-U.S. students receive a statement from ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì-Madrid and may pay in full by the first day of classes or make payments in installments according to the following table. The University assesses a penalty fee of 2% on unpaid balances if payment due dates are not met.

Class Refund Policy

Students who formally drop any academic course within the add/drop period of the fall or spring semester will be eligible for a full refund of the difference in tuition costs. After the add/drop deadlines of each semester, refunds will only apply for full withdrawals from the University that are communicated to the Madrid Office of the Registrar by completing a Change of Registration Form or by emailing registrar-madrid@slu.edu. In that case, the following refund schedule would apply:

Financial Holds

Any student who is in arrears to the University either for tuition or housing in the course of the semester will be so notified, with the indication that failure to make payment according to an acceptable financial plan jeopardizes the student's continued enrollment.

Students who are in arrears to the University on the final class day of a given semester for any part of either tuition or housing — and who have not prior to that date, worked out a detailed financial payment plan that is acceptable to the Office of Finance — will have any registration and housing assignments withdrawn for the following semester.

For a student to register or request a housing assignment for the following semester, they must have settled all debt to the University or worked out a detailed financial plan acceptable to the Office of Finance.
