If adding a course in the same term/semester increases your tuition, you will only be charged the difference between the tuition amount for the applicable number of courses, and not the full amount for the new course as a standalone. For example, moving from 3 to 4 courses will only incur an additional cost of $1,174 ($7,042 - $5,868), not $1,760.50 or the full single-course fee of $2,347. If you are in a cohort-based program with a fixed number of full-time courses (for example, Early Learning & Care or Community, Family & Child Studies, etc.), reducing your course load in a given term may not result in a tuition credit or tuition fee reduction. Please connect with your academic advisor before changing your schedule to understand any possible changes to your tuition and fees. | |
