This schedule does not limit the charges which may be collected under arrangements with other governmental or private agencies except that such arrangements may not provide for lesser charges.  Tuition or other charges to more nearly cover the actual cost of instruction are specifically authorized.  No tuition is charged to students enrolled in programs for which the entire cost is financed by governmental or private agencies.  Students taking such courses on campus must pay all required campus privilege fees.

The University makes available an installment plan for the payment of tuition and fees.  Under this plan the initial payment will be approximately thirty-three (33%) percent of the total fees due, plus a $25.00 administrative fee.  The balance is paid in two additional installments, which are due September 23, 2007 and November 2, 2007 for the fall semester and February 24, 2008 and April 4, 2008 for the spring semester.  A late fee of $25.00 will be assessed for each payment not made by the due date.  An installment contract specifying amounts due may be arranged in person or the contract is available on-line.  The form must be completed and returned to the Office of Cashiering Services.

The University makes available a two payment plan in the Summer.  The initial payment will be ½ of the amount due plus the $25.00 administrative fee which is due by 4:00 pm on Monday of the week the class begins.  A late fee of $25.00 will be assessed for each payment not made by the due date.
