Flat Rate Tuition Policy

Under the Flat Rate Tuition Policy, designated tuition and applicable required fees will be charged as follows:

Part-time students (those taking 1-11 semester credit hours) will be charged tuition and fees based on the number of hours they take, plus course fees and other fees charged on a fixed rate per semester basis.

Full-time undergraduate students (those taking 12 semester credit hours or more) will be charged a flat rate for designated tuition and most required fees, based on a 15 semester credit hour course load. Students are encouraged to take at least 15 semester credit hours to receive full value under the flat rate policy and will benefit from significant savings for hours in excess of 15.

Flat tuition rates do not apply to graduate or professional students and mandatory fees charged by semester credit hour will not exceed that charged for 15 semester credit hours. The Flat Rate Tuition Policy applies only to the fall and spring semester. For the summer terms, tuition and fees charged at the per SCH rate will be charged based on number of semester credit hours enrolled. If you anticipate a refund of fall and/or spring tuition and fees due to the flat rate tuition policy and will be registered for the summer term(s), you must pay your summer tuition and fees. The return of fall and spring fees due to the flat rate tuition policy will be given as a scholarship in the Fall 06.
