All other students will pay January Term tuition of $945 per credit.

Please note, these costs are for students taking courses on the Arts and Sciences campus in McMinnville. Costs for students on the Nursing and Health Sciences campus and through the Adult Degree Program may vary.

Students who reduce their credit loads during fall or spring semester to below ten credits within 15 class days from the first day classes begin will be charged at the per-credit rate. After these dates, dropping a course will not reduce the charges for the course(s) dropped. Any student taking over 18 credits per semester will be charged $945 for each additional credit.

Full-time students matriculating on either campus may reg-ister for one course of up to four credit hours per semester on the other campus as part of their course load and retain their full-time status. No additional fee will be charged for cross registration. Scheduling and transportation are student responsibilities.

With the approval of their academic advisors, students enrolled full-time on the McMinnville or Portland Campuses may take a maximum of one course through the Adult Degree Program (ADP) as part of their regular course load of 18 hours maximum during the fall and spring semesters at no additional tuition. This policy does not apply to January Term or Summer Term. McMinnville and Portland Campus students wishing to enroll in ADP courses during January and summer must register through the DCE Office and pay normal ADP tuition and fees.

Full-time McMinnville or Portland Campus students who take a ADP course through Summer Term or Winter Term must pay the ADP tuition rate for these courses. Students may only enroll in January Term coursework from a single campus: Portland, McMinnville, or ADP. Students choosing this option are exempt from the January Term per-credit fee, though the ASLC fee for January Term will be levied. Students who are members of the campus residential system must pay the appropriate January Term residential and board fees. Courses dropped after classes begin are governed by the ADP refund policy. No McMinnville or Portland Campus student is al-lowed to enroll in January Term for a first class at Linfield College. 

McMinnville or Portland Campus students who are not full-time in fall and/or spring semesters must pay the January Term prorate fee for ADP Winter Term classes. McMinnville or Portland Campus students who are not full-time in fall semester and need a January Term class to graduate will be pro-rated at the McMin-nville or Portland tuition rate.

With the exception of Summer Term and January Term, whenever a McMinnville or Portland campus student enrolls in an ADP class, tuition will be charged as follows: (1) If the total number of credits in fall or spring semester, including the ADP class, for which the student is registered is at least 10, but not more than 18, the student will be charged the residential tuition amount for that semester ($15,150), with no additional charge for the ADP class. (2) If the total number of credits for which the student is registered is less than 10 or more than 18, the student will  be charged the per-credit rate that is applicable to McMinnville and Portland campus students ($945).

Registered Nurse (RN) students on the Legacy-Linfield cohort plan will be charged the ADP per credit rate for the particular year. Non-Legacy RN students will be charged the same ADP rate. All other RNs attending the regular day time courses will be charged  the regular $945 per credit hour rate.
