Tuition and fees are due on the first day of each term according to the University academic calendar; regardless of when classes actually begin. Beginning on the first day of each quarter, an interest fee calculated on a daily basis at the rate of 18% per annum is assessed to each student's account which is not yet paid. The deposit fee to hold a place in class is applied to the first quarter tuition at registration.

Failure to pay tuition and fees in full when due may result in a student not being allowed to register for the subsequent quarter. A late fee of $150.00 will be charged for late registration.

When a student is authorized to take an altered schedule or reduced course load because of academic difficulties, personal health reasons, or for other reasons, full tuition will be charged.

The number of hours credited for any course is determined by the individual department. Such determination is based on the time a student is expected to spend preparing for and participating in a particular course.

The University reserves the right to assess special students a higher tuition rate per unit than is assessed regular graduate students.

In general, students auditing a course are charged the same tuition as those taking the course for credit.
