Does it cost more to be a member of Commonwealth Honors College?
In July of 2010, the University President’s Office with the approval of the University Trustees established a new fee of $150 per semester for members of Commonwealth Honors College. The new Commonwealth College Honors fee will be used to continue providing an exceptional learning experience for students. It will help fund additional faculty, maintain small classes, and provide the experiences which distinguish the College, such as visiting authors and other special programs. We are continuing to provide this level of educational experience in spite of the cuts in state funding that necessitated this fee. The University is committed to continuing the academic quality of Commonwealth Honors College. The fee will be taken into consideration in the determination of need-based financial aid packages.
