The Graduate College Handbook for Students, Faculty and Staff
Chapter VII: Tuition and Fees
A. Assessment
Tuition and fee assessments are based on the student’s Illinois residency status, college and curriculum of enrollment, and amount of credit for which the student registers. Credit is organized by “ranges” (e.g. Range I for fall and spring terms is twelve or more hours), and the amount of tuition and fee assessments may vary by range of enrollment. For example, if a student registers for fewer than six hours in fall or spring terms, or less than three hours in summer, certain fees would not be assessed. And in that case, the student would not have access to the services associated with those fees.
In addition to tuition, certain courses carry a fee to cover instructional costs. These fees may apply to computer equipment and usage, laboratory equipment and supplies, musical instruments for practice, and similar instructional costs. Instructional fees are noted in the Class Schedule and assessed along with tuition and other fees.
The Office of Admissions and Records Web site contains complete information about tuition and fees assessment, current fee structures, and which services are supported by specific fees.
