Students pay tuition and fees for all hours in which they are enrolled. Tuition and fees charged are based on two factors: the type of course (On-campus or FHSU Online) and the student's residency status. See in-state tuition requirements for more information. For example:
- A Resident student will be charged On-campus tuition and fees for On-campus courses and FHSU Online tuition for FHSU Online courses.
- A Non-Resident student will be charged Non-Resident tuition and fees when taking both On-campus and FHSU Online courses. A Non-Resident student taking FHSU Online courses only will pay FHSU Online tuition. An international student is a Non-Resident student for tuition calculation purposes.
- Students who are residents of Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, or Oklahoma qualify for the Contiguous State rate for On-campus courses. A Contiguous State student will be charged Contiguous State tuition and fees when taking both On-campus and FHSU Online courses. A Contiguous State student taking FHSU Online courses only will pay FHSU Online tuition.
- Students who meet eligibility requirements for the Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP) qualify for the Contiguous State/MSEP rate for on-campus courses. An MSEP student will be charged Contiguous State/MSEP tuition and fees when taking both On-campus and v courses. An MSEP student taking FHSU Online courses only will pay FHSU Online tuition. More information can be found at: Midwest Student Exchange Program Information.
Graduate tuition and fees are assessed based on course enrollment level rather than individual classification. Students will pay graduate tuition and fees for graduate credit courses and undergraduate tuition and fees for undergraduate credit courses. Graduate students enrolled in off-campus MBA classes will pay graduate MBA tuition. Graduate students enrolled in DNP classes will pay graduate DNP tuition.
Special fees may be added to select approved courses, including noncredit courses, workshops, conferences, and seminars based on direct and indirect operating costs.
Students who add or process an add/drop together at any time for the semester will have tuition and fees recalculated at the time of each transaction. These transactions may change the fee status of the student for the semester and fees will be assessed accordingly. The student is required to remit payment for additional tuition and fees owed at the time of the transaction in TigerTracks (Online Services tab). If the recalculation results in a refund due to the student, Student Fiscal Services will process the transaction to the student account.
