Tuition and Fees

Tuition is charged based on a student’s full- or part-time status, not on the format of instruction, which may vary. Full- time students include all students taking 12 or more credit hours per semester. Part-time students are students taking fewer than 12 credit hours per semester. Tuition charges are determined by their course loads. A student activities fee will be charged to all full- and part-time undergraduate degree seeking students.
