Summer should be a time to explore and grow, which is why VSU is making it even easier for you to continue your education year-round by providing prorated fees for on-campus students during the summer semester! Starting Summer 2018, VSU undergrad and graduate students taking four or fewer credit hours on campus will enjoy a reduced mandatory fee schedule. Tuition rates will remain the same.
To better understand the costs associated with attending summer semester, utilize our cost calculator below. Figures generated are estimates only and all tuition rates and fees are subject to change.
Valdosta State has highly competitive tuition and fee rates compared to other Georgia universities!

Summer school will be located in Langdale Hall, which means you’ll enjoy convenient walks to classes, recreation and dining facilities, and Odum Library.

Whether you're taking classes or just staying on campus this summer, you’ll have access to multiple eateries that will fuel your body and brain! Centennial Hall residents will be required to have a minimum of a $200 Dining Dollars, and all other summer residents will have a Summer 55 Meal Plan, which consists of 55 meal swipes plus $150 Dining Dollars.
For dining hours, locations and rates, visit the Dining website.
If you bring your car to campus, whether you are commuting or living on campus, you'll need to purchase a parking permit. Permits purchased for the Spring and Fall semesters will be valid through summer; if you do not have a permit, you'll need to visit Parking and Transportation in the Sustella Parking Deck. For parking maps, rates and registration information, visit the Parking and Transportation website.
Don't need a permit? Use the VSU shuttle service to get where you need to go! Shuttles routes remain the same year-round and cover every corner of both campuses from 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
To view the shuttle route map or other campus maps, visit Campus Maps. For more information about the shuttle service, visit the Parking and Transportation website.
All of the student services you need during the academic year will be available throughout the summer! Staff members in the Academic Support Center, Career Opportunities, Counseling Center, and other on-campus services are here year-round to help you make the most of your summer experience.

Valdosta is a metropolitan area offering the amenities of a major city with the appeal of a close-knit community. In the summer, you’ll be able to stroll downtown for lunch at a sidewalk café or enjoy dinner at a rooftop lounge. You’ll even be able to ride the coasters and catch a concert at Wild Adventures Theme Park, or slow down to hike local nature trails. And if you’re looking to catch a blockbuster at the theater or hang out on the Front Lawn you’ll be able to do that, too! There are always new experiences to be had when you’re out of class.
