The fee structure for the 2015-16 academic year has been simplified. The new structure has been developed as a way to allow current and prospective students to assess their costs each semester. In the new structure, as long as a student knows which college and program he or she is in and his or her status as resident, non-resident or metro student, the student will be able to look at a chart and determine what tuition and fees will be.
The following summarizes the changes that go into effect with the Fall 2015 semester:
1.) Students in Distance Programs will be assessed prorated Distance tuition based on their level up to the appropriate hours cap (12 hours Undergrad/9 hours Grad). A student must be enrolled in a qualified Distance Program and be designated as a Distance Student to be assessed Distance tuition.
Student were pre-qualified as Distance Students based on their prior enrollment in these programs and other criteria.
2.) All other students will be assessed prorated regular tuition and fees for their level and residency up to the appropriate hours cap regardless of the location and type of course. This includes courses designated as E-Delivery Courses.
3.) An E-Delivery Fee will be assessed to all students for any course sections designated as 100% online at a per credit hour rate.
4.) The Regional and Off-Campus Fees have been eliminated.
5.) Most course and lab fees have been eliminated. A limited number of course specific fees with unique cost structures will remain. Please reference Special Student Fees for a listing of these fees.
6.) College and Program fees will be prorated based on the number of credit hours up to the cap for all students in the corresponding colleges/programs
