Rates in the academic year are based on 9 to 12 credits (depending on the department) and may include estimated lab fees. Rates in the summer semester are based on 3 credits and may also include estimated lab fees. The student is responsible for all charges above the calculated departmental cap (9 to 12 credits academic year, 3 credits summer). A 5% increase should be applied in future years.
