Dual Enrollment Tuition & Fees
- Fall and Spring Semesters: Dual Enrollment students can take up to 6 credit hours (usually equivalent to two classes) without being charged tuition, but are responsible for any course fees that may apply.
- Excess Credit Hours: If a Dual Enrollment student takes more than 6 credit hours in the fall or spring semester, they are charged $100 per credit hour for each additional credit beyond the initial 6. This means that the first 6 credits are essentially free, and any credits above that are subject to the $100 per credit hour charge.
- Summer Classes: Dual Enrollment students are charged $100 per credit hour for all summer courses, regardless of how many credits they take plus any applicable course fees.
Description of University Fees
Auxiliary Fee:
The Auxiliary Fee funds targeted improvements to campus facilities, amenities, and
technology that enhance where students live, learn, and connect. This includes upgrades
to student spaces, dining and retail options, recreation areas, and academic equipment.
By supporting these enhancements through a dedicated fee, the university can improve the
student experience without increasing tuition.
Comprehensive Fee
The Comprehensive Fee covers a variety of general services and resources that support the
overall student experience. These services include athletic resources, student health
services, campus transportation, campus safety and security efforts, student events and
activities, educational and technology resources and support, career and employment
services, library services, fitness and recreation facilities, etc. By consolidating these
services into one fee, it simplifies billing while ensuring consistent support for the overall
student experience.
Bearcat Bundle Fee:
The Bearcat Bundle Fee provides all required textbooks and course materials to
undergraduate students by the first day of class at a reduced, flat rate each semester. This
program simplifies the purchasing process, lowers overall costs, and ensures students are
prepared for academic success from day one, with the option to opt out each term. For
more information, please visit the Bearcat Bundle page.
