Prolonged study surcharge

Undergraduate students who prolong their studies beyond the standard years for degree (including a leave of absence) incur a surcharge of 10% of base tuition for each year they prolong their studies, in addition to the standard tuition for that year.
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 aggregated tuition for meeting minimum tuition requirements.

Part-time study surcharge

Students whose % annual tuition is less than 50% incur a surcharge of 10% of base tuition.
The surcharge is not considered tuition and is not included in the aggregated tuition for meeting minimum tuition requirements.
This provision does not apply to the year the student completes required annual hours for the degree.
The surcharge is calculated based on fall and spring semester courses only (summer courses are not included).

Tuition is calculated for each degree separately as described above, each independent of the other (supplemental fees are charged only once).
Students shall pay no less than full tuition for the degree with the higher tuition and a minimum of 50% tuition for the additional degree.
Students whose % annual tuition is less than 50%, incur a surcharge of 10% of base tuition for each degree separately.

For students who change their study program in mid-degree – annual hours and % tuition accumulated are recognized when calculating tuition for the new program (if the courses are recognized academically in the new program).
