Fees
There are a number of fees associated with classes, but keep in mind what you’re getting in return–safe campuses, top-notch facilities, state-of-the-art labs and tools, student clubs, cultural events, intramural sports and more. There are two types of fees—basic and special. 1. Basic Fees Basic fees are charged to everyone. • General Use $12 per semester hour is charged each registration for college-credit courses. This fee is charged to cover the cost of transcripts, graduation, grounds improvements, technology centers, campus security and parking control. • Building Use $12 per semester hour will be charged each semester to assist in maintaining, improving and equipping campus facilities. A $25 general use fee will be charged with all noncredit courses. • Instructional Support $68 per semester will be charged for the support and maintenance of writing, math, reading and other learning labs. • Student Services $7 will be charged each semester you enroll in the College. This fee defrays the cost of cultural programs, intramural sports, student club activities, the student newspaper and other related student programs. • Matriculation $10 per semester hour is charged each registration for college-credit courses. This fee is charged to defray the cost of creating and maintaining student records. • Vehicle Identification Permits (VIPs) VIPs, which are provided by the College, are required of all students to park on campus and may require a fee for replacements. 2.
