Summary of Fees

Technology Fee

The technology fee covers the cost to acquire, install and maintain technologies that enhance the student learning experience and provide equitable access to technology resources. Examples of technology fee usage includes, but is not limited to, smart classrooms, computer labs, learning content and content management software, electronic media and library databases, distance learning hardware/software, and access to the wireless network. This fee is assessed to full-time day students (fall/spring) and graduate students (fall/spring/summer). The fee is assessed to part-time, online, evening, and weekend students (GPS) as part of their per credit hour tuition rate.

Online Course Fee

The online course fee is used for the development, maintenance and delivery of online courses, including additional training costs, development, maintenance and assessment of courses, compliance with distance education rules, etc. This fee is assessed per credit hour for any online courses.

Parking Fee

The parking fee helps pay for the costs associated with maintaining campus parking lots. Examples include, but are not limited to, parking signs, parking lot maintenance and improvements, campus security to patrol the lots, parking lot lighting, snow removal, etc. This fee is assessed to all students during the fall and spring semesters, with the exception of those who are in online instruction only or who have received an exception due to not bringing a car to campus.

Graduation Fee

The graduation fee helps fund the cost of conferring a degree, including, but not limited to, the diploma, diploma cover, mailing the diploma, cap and gown, and defraying some of the costs of the commencement ceremony. This fee also offsets the cost of reviewing the transcript to ensure the students have officially met the requirements of the degree they are receiving. This fee is assessed to all graduates regardless of whether or not they attend the ceremony and is usually added to their account about a month prior to the end of their last term. For full-time day students who have an enrollment deposit on file, the graduation fee will be paid by the enrollment deposit.
