These courses may be taken before or after matriculation, but must be completed before the achievement of senior standing. Students who, due to circumstances beyond their control, cannot complete the bachelor s degree requirements in 12 quarters may petition the University Enrollment Appeals Committee for a 13th quarter at no additional tuition charge. Transfer students are eligible to petition after 9 quarters of full-time study. This option is not for students who choose a program that may take more than 12 quarters to complete or for those who have graduated. For further information about this process, contact the Registrar s Office.
Tuition is billed on a term-pricing basis.
The normal full-time course load is three or four courses per quarter. However, students may, with their school s approval, take more than four courses per quarter without an additional charge. These excess courses may be applied toward the degree requirements of the various schools so long as they are not used to accelerate graduation. However, students who wish to use the excess courses to accelerate graduation will incur an excess course charge for each course of 25 percent of the full-time quarter s tuition in effect at the time of graduation. Students wishing to apply excess courses must indicate their desire to do so when applying for the degree.
