Facilities Fee
The Facilities Fee is a mandatory fee assessed to all students enrolled in credit and audit courses. The fee will be used to provide students with upgraded classroom facilities, expand information technology into the classroom, and fund campus infrastructure improvements. These revenues will be targeted to assist in funding a backlog of campus and classroom projects that will enhance the University’s facilities. Beginning Fall 2012 the fee is $160 per semester for full-time, in-state students and $310 per semester for full-time, out-of-state students. The fee will be pro-rated for part-time students.

Law Enhancement Fee
Designed to improve their educational and overall experience, all students enrolled in the College of Law are assessed an additional per semester (fall and spring) charge of $625.00. This fee is used, in part, to enable the College to help cover some of the expenses students incurred in attending conferences and job fairs; to allow the College to increase its recruitment efforts;  and to provide more adequate funding for student organizations. 

Transportation Fee
Students registered for credit and audit courses must pay a Transportation Fee of $2.00 per hour ($26.00 maximum). This fee is used to provide students with a convenient method of movement around campus and will subsidize the costs associated with the University’s comprehensive campus transit system.

Income Protection Allowance retains cost for housing for students living with parent, no additional cost for room.
