Student costs are based upon a guaranteed undergraduate tuition plan called The CMU Promise. The CMU Promise, for new and transfer undergraduate students, is one unchanging tuition rate for up to five years. In addition to fixing the cost of tuition, The CMU Promise eliminates all mandatory fees. The CMU Promise also guarantees that the room and board rate for residence halls will not increase for two years from the date of admission to CMU. See http://www.cmich.edu/tuitionguarantee/ for additional information on The CMU Promise guaranteed plan.
