Tuition and Fees
How to Calculate Your Cost
Here’s how to calculate the estimated cost of your tuition and fees:
- Find your tuition rate in the table below
- Add student fee to your tuition rate (Summer 2023 - $7, Fall 2023 - $8)
- Add #1 and #2 together
- Multiply #3 total by the number of credits for the course(s)
- Add a $25 Administrative Fee (one-time fee per semester)
- Add any lab and/or course fees
Example: ((tuition rate + 7.00) x (# of credits)) + $25 admin fee + (lab/course fee) = cost of course
2023/2024 Lab fee schedule of fees by course
