It is difficult, therefore, to provide exact statements of total expenses. The Board of Regents reserves the right to change the costs for tuition and fees and room and board at any time, and it should be expected that costs will be higher for 1998-99. The cost of attending only fall or spring semester would be one-half of the amount shown above. Students planning to attend summer session should take into account estimated expenses indicated in the Summer Session Catalog , available from the Office of the Registrar in mid-February. Additional costs would include books, supplies, special residential academic program fees, transportation, entertainment, health insurance, and any other personal needs, interest items, or services.
Some courses carry laboratory or other fees for practical activities.
Consult the Registration Handbook and Schedule of Courses for notation of special fees. Tuition and fees for 1998-99 were not set when this catalog went to press in early 1998. The tuition rates per semester for the 1997-98 school year are listed on the next page. Note that a surcharge is assessed for each semester credit hour over 18 hours. Zero or fractional credit is regarded as 1 hour in assessing tuition and fee charges.
