Tuition rates are based on the student's state of residence. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that they are billed the correct tuition rate each term and to take prompt action if updates are necessary. Retroactive corrections are not granted. Students should check Campus Connection to verify that they are billed the correct tuition rate.
To verify your tuition rate within Campus Connection
