Wondering what the tuition and fees mean on your bill? We break it down for you here. Please remember that payment of all charges is due in full by the due date specified on your bill. Students whose accounts have not been paid in full, or otherwise cleared through commitments by other sources will be subject to cancellation of class enrollment. Students will not be allowed to re-enroll without proper payment.

College Fee:
The college fee is comprised of the General College Fee and the Laboratory, Equipment and Materials Fee. The general college fee of $ 121.00 per credit is used to support instructional costs, student services, and maintaining the physical plant facilities. The Laboratory, Equipment and Materials Fee (LEM) has been established to address the increasing costs of maintaining “state-of-the-art” technology equipment and supplies for specific courses. The LEM fee is $ 10.00 per credit for all technology and supply intensive courses.
Registration Fee:
This mandatory fee of $ 20.00 is charged once each semester.
Information Technology Access Fee:
This mandatory fee has been established to address a portion of the College’s cost associated with information technology. Specifically this fee will, in part, offset some of the costs associated with expanded student services including Internet access, online registration, expanded email access, WEB based applications, multimedia and telecommunications improvements and expanded use of application software all of which are consistent with the College’s mission. The Information Technology Access Fee is $35.00 per semester.
Student Activity Fee:
This fee will be charged only to those students who are enrolled in nine or more credits and will be used to support student and community recreational, cultural, and social events and activities. It is a fee of $ 20.00 per semester.
Insurance:
You may have an insurance charge on your bill. Health insurance is required by state law for all students registering for 9 or more credits in a degree program. If you have health insurance through another carrier, you may waive the charge by completing the insurance waiver card included with your bill, and returning it to the bursar’s office or by going to www.universityhealthplans.com. The waiver must be completed no later than the first day of classes or your name will be submitted to the insurance company. Once submitted there will be no waiver or refund of the fee.
Tuition Waivers:
Tuition waivers are only applicable toward state tuition. The total value of this award will be adjusted to an amount that cannot exceed your state tuition charges. You cannot receive more than one tuition waiver (i.e. veteran waiver and financial aid waiver).
Financial Aid

Memo Items
