A late-initial-enrollment fee of $50 is assessed to students who begin enrolling in courses after a specific date each term.
For all students (except Special and Guest), the date is generally the Friday of the first week of the regular session. For Special and Guest students, the date is generally the Friday of the second week of the Regular Session.
If you have been assessed this fee, the Bursar’s Office will include it on your tuition bill. Tuition and related academic fees are always payable to the Bursar’s Office.
