Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $6,000 per academic year for both Wisconsin and out-of-state students, plus $30 in required fees. The reported part-time undergraduate charge was $250 per credit hour. These are published charges, not an individual student's final bill.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $6,030 for 2024-25.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: about $1,000.
• Reported room-and-board allowance: $8,832; this is a living-cost estimate, not a charge for university-operated housing.
• Reported full-time graduate tuition and required fees: $8,130; part-time graduate tuition was $450 per credit hour.

A complete personal budget also needs transportation, other living expenses, and any program-specific costs. Because the university does not report college-operated undergraduate housing, a student's actual rent and food spending may differ substantially from the room-and-board allowance. Applicants should use their intended enrollment level and course load when requesting a current cost-of-attendance estimate.

Financial aid can change the amount a student ultimately pays. In the 2024-25 figures, 84% of students received financial aid, and the average reported grant award to undergraduates was $7,635. Average net price was $4,689 for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less, compared with $17,202 for the reported $48,001-$75,000 bracket. Net price is an average after grant aid that includes estimated attendance expenses; it is neither a tuition quote nor a promise of an individual award.

Students seeking aid should complete the FAFSA and ask the financial aid office about federal grants, applicable Wisconsin aid, tribal education assistance, and institutional scholarships. Some sources may require separate applications or proof of eligibility. A reported 0% of students receiving student loans should not be interpreted to mean that borrowing is available, advisable, or necessary for every applicant.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe University?

Students who want to earn money while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Federal Work-Study, when awarded to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through approved employment; receiving an award does not itself place the student in a job.

The financial aid office can explain whether Work-Study is offered for a student's award year, how to indicate interest through the FAFSA, and how positions are filled. Students can separately ask about regular campus jobs or local employers. Career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, and job fairs can support either search, but career services and paid student employment are not the same benefit.

No internship is reported as a requirement for every student. A specific major may nevertheless include field experience, so applicants should check its curriculum before treating an internship as optional.
