Fees, Tuition and Other Charges Subject to Change Without Further Notice

Notwithstanding currently posted tuition and fees, all fees, tuition or other charges which students are required to pay each semester are subject to increase by action of the Board of Regents at any time before the commencement of classes (primarily due to budgetary shortfalls).

You will receive a supplemental invoice for any additional amounts which the Board of Regents may impose. Fee changes put in place less then 30 days before commencement of classes will not be subject late fee penalties.
