Students pay a flat tuition fee each semester. The fee entitles students to register for 12 to 17 credit hours per semester. (Most degree programs require students to average 15.5 credit hours each semester in order to graduate in the traditional eight semesters.) This is the only fixed cost. Discretionary costs (those over which you have some control) include room and board, books and supplies, personal and transportation expenses, and course-related fees for select programs. These costs can vary, depending on individual circumstances and spending habits.

Billing Process

All student billing operations are centralized in the Office of the Bursar. Amounts owed -- whether for tuition and fees, housing, the health center, a bus pass, or otherwise -- are added together to represent one total amount due on the student account.

Bursar statements are available for viewing and printing through the Office of the Bursar's QuikPAY application.

All students receive an e-mail when their monthly bill is available on the web. In addition, any authorized payer created by the student has the option of receiving these bill notifications.

This process allows access to statements much faster than paper bills, providing greater time for remitting payment by the due date (whether paying electronically or by mail). Paper bills are no longer generated for Bursar account activity.

Please refer to the Bursar's information about QuikPAY for details about using QuickPAY to pay your bill and the billing calendar for details on when bills are generated.
