Continuing Education Fee
The School of Continuing Education is committed to provide the highest quality service and support to our off campus adult students. Due to the increase in operating costs and professional personnel costs in the School of Continuing Education it will necessitate the raising of the Continuing Education Fee to $44 per credit hour. The School of Continuing Education will use this revenue to maintain the highest quality of service to the School of Continuing Education off-campus adult students.
