Tuition for January Term (JT) is imbedded in the fall and spring tuition rate. However, any student not enrolled full time in the contiguous fall and spring semesters will be charged a prorated tuition amount on the credits taken during JT. Fall graduating seniors who need the JT credit to complete their graduation requirements will not be charged the tuition fee for JT but must have been full time in fall.

The proration is based on the unpaid percentages of full time annual tuition. For example, if actual annual tuition is 75% of full time annual tuition, JT will be prorated at 25% of each JT credit hour for which the student enrolled at the per credit hour rate. The January Term $201 per-credit fee paid will be deducted from any January Term tuition prorate fee. This cannot be determined until after spring registration. Withdrawal during spring semester during the refund period will cause any JT tuition charges to be prorated.
