Credit Considerations and Tuition

university policies.
Credits earned during a regular semester as part of the full-time, 16-hour credit maximum are not billed separately. Credits
earned in excess of 16 credit hours are billed at the supplemental tuition rate and require permission from the Associate
Provost (see Overload Credits in Catalog).
Summer Internships: the summer session is a distinct term, separate from the fall and spring semesters. All credits earned
for this period are billed at the summer school rate and will include a comprehensive fee. Undergraduate students will be
billed for credits registered. Graduate students and Continuing Education students must submit their registration online
in addition to submitting the Learning Agreement.
