  • Years of study are counted from the first year of enrollment, even if the discipline of study changed mid-degree; surcharge is based on that number of years of study.
  • Years of study include years in which a student was on leave of absence.
  • The surcharge is not considered tuition and thus is not included in the aggregate tuition for meeting minimum tuition requirements.
