Understanding Your Tuition Changes
Here is a summary of the key updates to the tuition and fee structure.
New Tuition Rate
Tuition will now be assessed at a flat rate of $138.96 per credit hour, regardless of course format (in-person or online). This is an increase from the previous rate of $134.89 per credit hour.
No More Credit Hour Cap
The previous 12-hour cap on tuition and Board-mandated fees has been removed. You will now be charged for every enrolled credit hour, including the 13th, 14th, 15th credit hour, and beyond.
Simplified Billing & Fees
The separate Excess Credit Hour Fee has been eliminated. You will now see one line per fee type on your student account, which is designed to improve billing clarity and reduce confusion.
