FEES:

Fees are special charges you must pay either in addition to or in place of tuition.

2% Network Charge
The purpose of the Network Charge is to cover rapidly rising costs, especially in the maintenance and enhancement of our university-wide technology infrastructure. The 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 in lieu of tuition less than the lower division credit hour tuition rate ($120 for Academic Year 2006-2007) will be exempt from the charge. All calculated fees will be rounded to the nearest dollar. The minimum network charge per course will be $2.

Administrative Fee
An administrative fee may be charged instead of tuition. This fee amount is listed in the course description section of the schedule.
