University of North Florida

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of North Florida?

UNF's published costs differ substantially by Florida residency. In the 2024-25 cost figures, average full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $5,964 for in-state students and $19,407 for out-of-state students. Residency classification therefore has a major effect on the published price.

The same figures list typical room and board charges of $11,810 and books and supplies of $1,200. Adding those items to tuition and required fees produces a partial annual estimate of $18,974 for an in-state student or $32,417 for an out-of-state student. Neither partial estimate is a complete cost of attendance: transportation, personal expenses, and an individual student's housing and course costs can add to the budget. A student living at home may have different housing expenses, while a student in a particular residence or meal plan may pay a different amount.

Published charges are not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. For students in families with annual income up to $48,000, the reported average net price was $6,866; individual awards can differ considerably. UNF students may seek federal grants and loans, Florida aid for eligible residents, and institutional scholarships. Federal aid applicants generally start with the FAFSA, while state and university awards may have separate eligibility rules or deadlines. The reported share of students receiving some form of financial aid was 86%, which includes types of aid that do not all reduce costs in the same way.

Students using veterans' or military education benefits should check how those benefits interact with residency, scholarships, and their personal aid package. The most useful comparison is an individual aid offer against a current, complete cost-of-attendance budget - not tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of North Florida?

UNF students can pursue part-time employment alongside classes, including campus jobs and positions connected to their academic interests. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's financial aid package, helps fund wages for qualifying work; it is not money automatically deducted from a tuition bill, and a student must obtain and work a job to earn it.

Students should distinguish Work-Study positions from other campus jobs, which may have different funding and eligibility rules. They can use UNF's student employment and career resources to look for openings and should check the hours, pay, and scheduling expectations before accepting a position.

UNF's career services also offer support beyond paid campus work, including individual career planning, résumé help, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer events, and internship guidance. Such services may help students explore options and make applications; they are not evidence that a student will receive a job offer. For an internship tied to academic credit, students should check their department's approval and enrollment requirements.
