How much do courses cost?
Tuition is based on the number of course credit hours you are taking and your student status (graduate, undergraduate, etc.). Student Financial Services' Tuition and Fees web page provides an extensive list of fees for each type of student such as non-matriculated, part-time matriculated, and graduate matriculated. Most online learning students are charged the graduate or evening division rate; however, students are assessed tuition based on the program they are enrolled in and the course level.

How much do course materials cost?
The expense of course materials will vary from course to course since different instructors will use different course delivery methods. If course materials such as textbooks, DVDs and/or CD-ROM sets are required, the cost of materials on a per course basis could vary from $100 to $250. Some courses may not even require purchased course materials at all and rely on web-based resources.
