Information About Tuition & Fees
It is important for students to be aware of the costs you should expect as a graduate student. There are a variety of costs to consider, including tuition fees, living expenses, and transportation.
Detailed information regarding tuition and fees for all graduate programs are available for review on the Financial Services website.
All newly admitted and readmitted graduate and postgraduate students are required to pay a non-refundable deposit as per the Graduate Calendar. This deposit must be paid at the Cash Office, either in person, by mail, telephone banking, or online banking. After deposits have been paid, registration privileges will ensue. The tuition deposit is applied to tuition fees incurred by the student.
Graduate students are expected to pay tuition each semester. The deadlines for full fees, including all miscellaneous and incidental fees to be paid are available in the Academic Schedule.
