Tuition & Financial Aid

Each year the University routinely examines the fees it charges students for services provided. The University proposes an increase for full-time graduate students by $104.50 per semester. This fee increase is essential to maintain the cost of existing services and to expand others. Students are responsible for knowing they are registered for classes, what classes they are registered for, paying their billing statements in a timely fashion, and understanding and following the correct procedures to withdraw from classes.
