** Total Tuition Only Estimate is based on an average course
load, and because tuition is charged on a per semester credit
hour basis, the total will vary depending on the number of
credit hours taken during each semester. Typical undergraduate
course load is 12 to 15 credit hours, and a typical graduate
course load is 9 to 12 credit hours per semester. The estimate
listed above is calculated at 12 credit hours per regular
semester for an undergraduate student, and 9 credit hours per
regular semester for a graduate student.
*** Indicates a charge that is paid each semester. The fee
for books and supplies 106 is listed as an approximate figure to
be paid each semester, based on the University’s arrangement
with an educational service provider and the total number of
credit hours per semester. Books and supplies are provided at a
reduced rate of $25 per semester credit hour. The “Total Tuition
Fees and Costs Estimate,” as far as books and supplies, assumes
an undergraduate student is enrolled in four courses, or 12
semester credit hours at $75 per three credit hour course
totaling $300; and a graduate student is enrolled in three
courses, or 9 semester credit hours at $75 per three credit hour
course totaling $225 per regular semester. The “Total Tuition
Fees and Costs Estimate” also includes the application and
registration fee, however, these fees are not charged each
semester for continuously enrolled students.
