Tuition, Fees and Textbooks

A Lifelong Education/Weekend College student who is enrolled in no more than nine semester hours and who has not been enrolled as a full-time student in a traditional four-year college or university for at least one academic year normally qualifies for a tuition reduction. The tuition rate for Lifelong Education/Weekend College students for the 2009-2010 academic year is $350 per semester hour - approximately one half of the regular hourly rate of $810.

Fees for Lifelong Education/Weekend College students are assessed on a usage basis for parking, science lab courses, technology, some physical education courses, student teaching, and graduation.

Textbooks may be purchased in the College's bookstore Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. when the College is in session and during special hours at the beginning of each term of Weekend College.

Payment Options

Payment options and deferred payment are available to students enrolled in Weekend College. Arrangements can be made at registration. Also, individuals who are reimbursed by their employer for their educational expenses can have the portion to be reimbursed deferred until 30 days after the term ends. A photocopy of an approved employer tuition reimbursement form must be presented at registration to qualify for this deferment. The College also accepts VISA, MASTERCARD, and DISCOVER for payment of tuition and textbook costs.
