Understanding Your Costs

For students interested in pursuing financial assistance or educational loans, additional educational costs, known as Cost of Attendance components, can be included in the calculation of aid and loan eligibility. Components may include food, housing, books, course materials, supplies, equipment, transportation, personal expenses, and the cost of obtaining a first professional licensure. You can find comprehensive details at Student Financial Services. Please keep in mind that COA components can vary significantly depending on academic program, enrollment intensity, and individual circumstances.

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.

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