This is an estimate based on a standard occupancy room and standard meal plan. There are additional fees that vary by academic level or college. See the Fee Calculator. The above costs are reflective of 2022-23. The BGSU Board of Trustees meets every June to discuss changes in cost. Once the 2023-24 cost is set, it is locked in with the Falcon Tuition Guarantee
