Enrollment & Tuition Policies
Full-Time Enrollment (12–18 Credit Hours)
Traditional Day students enrolled in fewer than 12 credit hours per session will still be charged the full-time tuition rate.
Students enrolled in more than 18 credit hours at the conclusion of the add/drop period are considered to be in overload status and will be charged $1,614 per credit hour for each credit over 18.
Students may enroll in 1–4 credit hours of designated service courses per session. These credits do not count toward the maximum credit hour calculation for overload purposes.
January Term
All incoming first-year and sophomore students are required to attend January Term. The non-refundable January Term fee will be charged during the student's incoming session.
Non-first-year students who are enrolled full-time during the fall and spring sessions may take a January Term course at no additional tuition cost beyond the January Term fee.
