Tuition & Financial Aid
Did you know that you could be eligible for financial aid? There are many sources of financial aid from grants and loans to scholarships to employer reimbursement. Learn more about your funding options.
Overview
What is my tuition?
Course tuition for College of Professional Studies students is based on the number of quarter hours in each class. Your total tuition due for the quarter is dependent upon the total number of quarter hours in which you are enrolled. Course tuition is assessed just prior to the start of each class. Fees typically are assessed each quarter.
To calculate the total tuition for an individual class, you would multiply the total number of quarter hours for the course by the cost per quarter hour.
Example: The 2012-2013 tuition for an on-campus undergraduate class that is 3 QH is $335 * 3 = $1,005.
To learn more about the financial aid process, please listen to our webinar. Or visit our Funding Your Education page to explore your different funding options.
Tuition and fees are subject to revision by the president and Board of Trustees at any time.
