Your total tuition due for the semester is dependent upon the total number of credit hours in which you are enrolled. Course tuition is assessed just prior to the start of each class. Fees typically are assessed each semester.

To calculate the total tuition for an individual class, you would multiply the total number of credit hours for the course by the cost per credit hour.

Example: The 2023–2024 tuition for an on-campus undergraduate class that is 3 semester hours is $541 × 3 = $1,623.

Please note the different price structure for different types of courses, e.g., lecture vs. lab.
