Tuition for the forthcoming academic year is set each March by the MIT Corporation based on a recommendation from Academic Council. For the current academic year (2009-2010), full regular tuition per term is as follows:
| Summer | $12,500 |
| Fall and Spring | $18,755 |
Payment of full tuition in either fall or spring terms also covers subjects taken for academic credit during the January Independent Activities Period (IAP).
Special students (those not enrolled in degree programs and taking classes for personal or professional reasons) are charged tuition per unit of academic credit. In the current year, the charge is $585 per unit with a minimum charge of $5,335.
More detail about these charges and some programs at MIT which have special tuition rates is available in the undergraduate and graduate student tuition pages of this website. Information is also available here about tuition pro-ration in the cases of students who withdraw in the course of a term and for graduate students who complete their theses early.
For more information or to ask about specific tuition situations please contact Peter Hayes, Assistant Registrar, (617) 258-6406.
