Effective Summer 2007:
Non-degree Seeking Post-Baccalaureate Students Taking Classes Below the 700 Level will be Charged Graduate Tuition Rates. Under previous policies, post-baccalaureate students who had not been admitted to a graduate degree program would have been charged undergraduate tuition rates if ALL courses they were taking were numbered below the 700 level.  Starting Summer 2007, these students will be charged at the graduate tuition rates.

Effective Fall 2007:
Any student enrolled in Lifelong Learning Classes Will Pay Tuition and Lifelong Learning Fees at the Per Credit Hour Rate. These charges will be applicable regardless of whether they are enrolled in on-campus courses. This policy will represent no change for: (1) students enrolled exclusively in Lifelong Learning Classes; (2) undergraduate students enrolled in fewer than 10 on-campus credit hours, regardless of how many Lifelong hours they enroll; (3) graduate students enrolled in fewer than 7 credit hours, regardless of how many Lifelong Classes they enroll. It represents a change for on-campus students paying the full-time rate (i.e. undergraduates enrolled in 10 or more credit hours and graduates enrolled in 7 or more credit hours) who are also simultaneously enrolled in Lifelong Learning Classes.

An on-campus section number will be provided for Lifelong Learning courses that are required for undergraduate commencement in on-campus degrees but for which there is no on-campus equivalent.  (Fall 2007: FL600ZA, IR301ZA, IR410ZA, IR470ZA, MU595ZA)

Other students enrolled in Lifelong Learning courses are doing so for their convenience and not to obtain credit for a required course. These students will be charged the applicable rate for the Lifelong Learning course. Nonetheless, there are multiple options for minimizing those fees, from which students can be apprised through proper advising.

For planning purposes remember that the flat rate tuition (on-campus courses) is based on approximately 15 hours for undergraduate and 12 hours for graduate. If you plan class schedules correctly, the impact can be minimized. If a student enrolls in less than full time on-campus courses and adds off campus courses up to the 15 hours for undergraduate and 12 hours for graduate, the differences paid by the student are minimal.
