Fees are subject to change by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. Current fee information is published each semester in the Columbus State University printed Schedule of Courses and on the Web .
All fees are payable at the scheduled time each semester.
Students are not officially registered until all fees have been paid. Arrangements should be made in advance through the Admissions Office. No emancipated minor or other person 18 years of age or older shall be deemed to have gained or acquired in-state status for tuition purposes while attending any educational institution in Georgia, in the absence of a clear evidence that he or she has in fact established legal residence in Georgia. If a person is under 18 years of age, registration may be made as an in-state student only upon showing that the supporting parent or guardian has been a legal resident of Georgia for a period of at least 12 months immediately preceding the date of registration. If the legal residence of a parent or legal guardian of a minor changes to another state following a period of legal residence in Georgia, the minor may continue to take courses for a period of 12 consecutive months on the payment of in-state tuition.
