What does flat rate tuition mean in actual dollars?
The flat tuition rate for 2009-10 will be set by the Board of Trustees at its meeting in July and will be a percentage increase over this year’s nominal ‘full-time’ tuition, which is for 16 credits. Other than the exceptions noted below, any student taking 12 or more credits (up to 20) will pay the flat tuition rate. Part-time students (those taking fewer than 12 credits in a semester), will continue to pay the per-credit rate. Students taking more than 20 credits will pay the per-credit rate for credits in excess of 20.
