Courses must be dropped before the drop deadline to receive a full reversal of tuition and fees. Students are financially and academically responsible for any course(s) not dropped by the drop deadline.

Discounted Tuition

Additional discounts and institutional scholarships cannot be combined with discounted tuition offerings.

Resource Fee

The resource fee covers technology resources, textbooks, and course materials for students in the College of Adult and Graduate Studies (CAGS). All students must pay the technology portion of the fee except for Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard service members and dependents enrolled in undergraduate programs. Most of your books will be digital ebooks. All ebooks will be accessible through Brightspace and embedded in your course. If an ebook is not available, a physical book will be mailed to you. However, it's important that you check your student email as you will need to verify your address in order to receive the physical rental copy. If you prefer physical copies of books, you can find and purchase it on your own but you will still be charged the resource fee for the embedded digital version.

The resource fee is non-refundable for students who administratively drop or withdraw from a class after the drop deadline.
