Tuition
Tuition pays for the courses you enroll in and the instruction you receive. Summer Sessions Tuition is assessed immediately upon enrollment into courses and is charged per unit of enrollment (see above). Tuition becomes non-refundable after the drop deadline of each session.
Please note that “Tuition” Fees and “Student Fees” are charged separately and have different refund deadlines. For example, Tuition may be refunded until the drop deadline of a session, but Student Fees are only refunded before the start of classes. See Summer Sessions Deadlines for more information.
Please review our Payment & Refund Policies about payment deadlines, eligibility for refunds, and more before enrolling in Summer Sessions courses.
