NOTES
*The room rate cited here is for a double-occupancy (shared)
residential college room. Approximately 10 weeks of the year,
not including summer school sessions, are considered vacation
periods when most residential colleges and all cafeterias are
closed. The university does offer a 10-month residence hall
contract, allowing uninterrupted occupancy of a residential
college room from August 1—May 30, including all vacation
periods. The 10-month contract costs an additional $295 per
year. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in married student
housing is $423 per month effective 7/1/2004.
**International students are required to provide proof of
adequate health insurance coverage ($100,000 USD minimum
coverage) before being enrolled in classes. A policy is
available through the university at the rates cited above. If
you are covered by another policy, you will need to show
evidence of the dates for which you are covered and the type of
coverage.
Summer school tuition, travel costs, and allowance for vacation
periods or purchasing and maintaining an automobile are NOT
included in the above estimate of expenses.
A student with accompanying family members must budget at least
$6,000 per year for a spouse and an additional amount per year
for each child. An itemized estimate of expenses for students
with dependents will be sent upon request.
Tuition, fees, residential college, meal plan, international
orientation and student identification card charges are due at
the time of registration for courses. It is important for the
student to know his/her government’s regulations on currency
exchange and bank procedures in order to transfer needed funds
in a timely manner.
All fees are subject to
change without notice. Application fees are non-refundable. |
