Study on Your Terms with MyTerms™

Flexible, Flat-Rate Tuition That Fits Your Life

You’re already balancing work, family, and school. With MyTerms™ from National University, you can balance the cost of your education, too. In select programs you pay by the term, not by the class, and your required digital textbooks, and course fees are provided at no additional cost.

With simplified tuition, costs you can predict, and a pace that works for you, MyTerms™ offers a more manageable path toward graduation.

More Control Over Your Education

MyTerms™ is designed for students in select* undergraduate programs at NU. Enroll in 11 or more semester credit hours and pay one flat tuition rate for the 16-week term. Enroll in fewer credits, and tuition is charged per semester credit hour. Your cost adjusts with your enrollment, so you know what to expect each term.

*Some undergraduate programs are excluded. Please speak with an advisor to confirm the price of your program.

With MyTerms™ you can:

Set Your Pace

Adjust your course load as your life changes. When things get busy, connect with your advisor to find a pace that works for you while keeping steady progress toward your goals.

Know Your Costs

Pay by the term, not the class, with transparent pricing without hidden fees. Plus, required books and fees are provided at no additional cost.

Accelerate Your Progress

Take 11 credits or more within your program’s limits, and additional courses won’t raise your tuition. That means you can lower your cost per class and graduate sooner.
