Books:

Cost for books, supplies and uniforms for Traditional undergraduate students is approximately $500 per term. These costs are based on averages and may vary.

Rates are determined on an apartment-by-apartment basis.

Late Registration:

A student who for any reason does not complete his or her registration until after the prescribed registration period will be required to pay a late registration service fee before that registration may be finalized by the registrar. Information about what constitutes late registration and the applicable fee will be included in registration materials which are distributed by the Registrar's Office.

Late Fees:

The University assesses a 1.50% per month late fee charge on the unpaid balance for any student whose account is in arrears. Students who have unpaid balances from a previous semester will not be allowed to register for subsequent semesters. Fees associated with delinquent accounts sent to collections will be passed on to the student.
