Tuition
and Fees for 2008-2009
Fees
are based on the two semesters in the regular nine-month academic
year.
Tuition
is charged to all full-time students and covers a variety
of benefits for which part-time students are not eligible.
Tuition
covers the cost for the full-time degree-seeking student who
carries a course load of 12 to 18 semester hours. The student
enrolled for fewer than 12 hours pays tuition at the rate
of $500 per semester hour, plus a $100 Technology and Wireless
Fee. A student taking 19 or more semester hours pays
standard tuition plus an additional fee of $500 for each hour
in excess of 18 semester hours. For the purpose of this calculation,
full-time students participating in the academic internship
program will accrue one hour semester-hour of charges for
each three semester hours of internship program hours taken
in a semester.
