Tuition and fee schedules are presented separately for undergraduate day
programs, and evening undergraduate, graduate and summer programs. Certain
students may be eligible for tuition waivers. Information about eligibility
requirements can be found in the section on financial aid.
Undergraduate
State-supported Programs
In addition to the
non-refundable application fee of $20 for Commonwealth residents, $20 for
nonresidents, students must upon acceptance pay a $75 non-refundable tuition
deposit that will be credited towards tuition upon matriculation and an
orientation fee for $75. Students are billed for all semester charges
following completion of registration.
Reinstatement Policy
Payment in full is required by the due date
specified on the student bill. Students whose accounts are not paid in full
will be subject to cancellation of class enrollment.
Reinstatement
of course after the add/drop deadline requires the following procedure:
Within 2 weeks of cancellation:
1. Full payment including $75 reinstatement fee
paid in Bursar's Office by certified check, money order, or credit card
(MasterCard, Visa, Discover) to receive reinstatement form.
2. Reinstatement form needs to be signed by
professors of cancelled courses thereby approving continued attendance in
course.
3. Completed form returned to Bursar's Office by
student within stated deadline. Reinstatements requested between the stated
deadline and the Academic Withdrawal Date each semester will need approval
of the office of Academic Affairs along with the above requirements.
Reinstatements requested after the Academic
Withdrawal Date will not be approved.
Payment may be made by check, money order, or
credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover). If payment is made by check, the
cancelled check will serve as the student’s receipt. If a student remits
payment with a check that is returned because of insufficient funds, he
or she must make any future payments to the University in the form of a
certified check, bank check, or money order. A returned check
fee of $15 will be imposed for each instance of a personal check in payment
of any University charge that is returned not honored.
Students will incur all costs of collection if the University must place
their accounts with a collection agency and with the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts for intercept of other State payments (tax refunds, etc. ...).
Monthly payment plans through
external agencies are available for families who wish to avoid a large
outlay of cash at the beginning of each semester. For further information,
contact the Bursar’s Office.
Tuition and fees are subject to change by vote of
the Legislature, Board of Higher Education, or Board of Trustees.
