How It Works
Undergraduate students pay for just the first 13 credits—after that, all additional credits each semester are FREE! With UMD undergraduate degrees requiring at least 120 credits to graduate, taking 15 credits per semester keeps you on track for timely graduation while saving money. Simply register for your classes as usual—no special enrollment or extra steps required!
Benefits of bundling:
- Save Money: Any additional credits over 13 are free each semester
- Graduate On Time: Taking 15+ credits each semester keeps you on track
- Reduce Costs: Finishing on time or sooner means paying less in total tuition!
- Minnesota State Grant: Bundling can help eligible students meet the full time status requirements for the Minnesota State Grant.
