Tuition and Fees
Links and Documents
Tuition is determined by the student's residency status, the number of credit hours for which the student is registered, the student's course of study and the student's classification level.
Undergraduate students
An undergraduate student (freshman, sophomore, junior or senior) registered for 12 to 18 credits during any semester is classified as full-time. Tuition and fees are charged at a flat rate. An undergraduate student enrolled for more than 18 credits during any semester will be charged an overload tuition fee. This fee is charged on a per credit hour basis above the full-time tuition rate.
Graduate students
A graduate student enrolled for 9 to 15 credits during any term is classified as full-time. Tuition and fees are charged at a flat rate. A graduate student enrolled for more than 15 credits during any term will be charged an overload tuition fee. This fee is charged on a per credit hour basis above the full-time tuition rate.
Part-time students
Students registered for less than a full-time course load are charged a per credit hour rate based on the course level: undergraduate courses are classified as 100 to 400 level, graduate courses are classified as 500 to 700 level. Evening students enrolled on a part-time basis, pay the same per-credit tuition and fees as day students.
Special Students
Special students who hold a bachelor's degree are classified as DHG (Degree Holder Graduate) if they enroll in one or more graduate courses. DHG students are charged by the level of the course, unless they enroll for nine or more credits, at which point they are charged at the full-time graduate rate. Special students who hold undergraduate degrees are classified as DHU (Degree Holder Undergraduate) if they enroll in all undergraduate courses. DHU students who enroll in twelve or more credits are charged at the full-time undergraduate rate. If they make changes to their course enrollment by the end of the add/drop week, their classification and charges change in accordance with these guidelines.
