If you’re enrolled in less than 12 hours in fall or spring, you’ll pay part-time tuition of $1,018 per credit hour. Summer school tuition is offered at a reduced rate.
SENIOR CITIZENS (62 OR OVER AND RETIRED)
Senior citizens may enroll in traditional undergraduate courses tuition free on a space-available basis. Senior citizens must pay the technology fee and course fees. See the Admissions Office for details. Senior citizens cannot enroll in the adult-degree completion or graduate programs for free.
HOUSING CHARGES*

Laundry facilities are provided for residential students at no additional charge. Students who live on campus are required to purchase the university's meal plan.

When such permission is granted, a charge is assessed and must be pre-paid.
