Tuition Charges: Undergraduate students are billed according to their status as matriculated full-time or part-time students. Full-time undergraduate students will be billed, upon registering for a given semester, for tuition at the full-time rate; those who register for more than eighteen credits will have an additional charge for each credit over eighteen, billed at the part-time rate. Part-time students are billed at the per-credit rate. Undergraduate students wishing to change status must process a Request to Change Enrollment Status form with the Office of the Bursar. In addition, part-time, non-matriculated students must receive approval from the Office of Undergraduate Admission before a change to full-time status can be processed.

Under this policy, undergraduate students whose status is full time will be billed at the full-time rate, regardless of the number of credits for which they are registered, until a Request to Change Enrollment Status form is processed. If a full-time student fails to register for a full-time load by the end of the registration period, the University will adjust the billing and change the student’s status accordingly. An undergraduate student whose status is part-time will be billed at the part-time per-credit rate, unless registered for twelve or more credits (then the student will be billed at the full-time rate). Summer tuition will be billed at the per-credit rate regardless of status.

Financial Aid awards will be based on the student’s status, and students should be aware that change in status may affect Financial Aid eligibility.

Graduate students are assessed tuition on a per-credit basis.  Students should be aware that the number of enrolled credits may affect Financial Aid eligibility.
