The Full-time Tuition Fee

The full-time student's tuition fee covers basic tuition for five courses per semester. Credits taken beyond this normal course load will be charged at the part-time rate per credit hour. One-credit courses may be taken as a sixth course without an overload fee; only one of these options may be taken per semester. The following student services are also covered by full-time tuition:

	Student Activities
	Academic Support Services

Part-time Tuition Fee

Part-time students' tuition is determined on a per-credit basis.

Auditor Fee

Application Fee

The non-refundable Application Fee must be sent with the Application Form. All late applications are subject to an additional fee.

Confirmation Deposit

Upon acceptance by the University, new students are required to pay a non-refundable deposit that is credited toward the first semester's tuition. If students confirm and then fail to register for the semester for which they have reserved a place, the deposit is forfeited. New students will receive invoices once they pay the confirmation deposit and submit the Bursar's Payment Option Form. The confirmation deposit will be deducted from the refunds of new students who withdraw during the full-refund period prior to the first day of classes.

Orientation & Advising Fee

The Orientation fee covers all activities during the Orientation Program of a student's first semester:

	Academic advising
	Course registration
	Temporary housing during orientation

The Bursar's Office reserves the right to withdraw students from their classes if they persist in non-payment of fees.
