2% Network Charge
The Network Charge is to cover rapidly rising costs, especially in the maintenance and enhancement of our university-wide technology infrastructure. The two (2) percent network charge will be applied on a course-by-course basis to tuition, non-resident surcharges if applicable, and fees in lieu of tuition, for credit and non-credit courses. Courses with applicable fees charged in lieu of tuition less than the lower-division credit hour tuition rate ($134 for the 2008-2009 academic year) will be exempt from the charge. All calculated fees will be rounded to the nearest dollar. The minimum network charge per course will be $3.
