Tuition and Mandatory Fees
Summer charges
Financial aid offers for summer quarter will be sent in late May. An email notification will be generated once you have enrolled in summer classes. If you need an estimate of the aid available, contact the Financial Aid Office.
Use the information on this page to anticipate your expenses. After reviewing your aid offer, use the worksheet below to prepare a spending plan for the quarter:
A full-time student will pay more in tuition for 12 summer credits than they would pay in fall, winter, or spring quarters. This is due to a lower level of state support for the non-standard term. Review the tuition and fee schedules below for your anticipated credit load so you can prepare to cover the cost.
