Program Cost and Additional Enrollment: The estimated total program cost shown above assumes successful completion of all required courses on the first attempt and completion of all program requirements within the standard program schedule. Students who repeat a credit-bearing course will be required to pay additional tuition. Students who require enrollment beyond the standard program schedule to complete a thesis, dissertation, or other final academic requirement will be required to pay an Extension Fee and records fee for each additional term of enrollment. The Extension Fee applies when the student must remain enrolled to continue work toward completion but does not earn additional academic credits during the additional term. The Extension Fee is separate from tuition and is charged for the additional period of enrollment and continued academic supervision, advising, administrative support, and access to University resources necessary to complete the program. The Extension Fee for each additional term is equal to the amount of tuition that would otherwise have been charged for a standard term under the tuition rate in effect when the student originally entered the program, before application of any Tuition Relief, scholarship, or other discount, unless the University expressly approves a reduced Extension Fee in writing. Any Tuition Relief, scholarship, or other discount reflected in the estimated program cost applies only to the terms included in the standard program schedule and does not apply to repeated courses or additional thesis or dissertation terms. Accordingly, the estimated total program cost may increase if a student repeats a course or requires one or more additional terms beyond the standard program schedule to complete the program.

* Included in Total Cost of Program

**Assumes program completion in 6 enrolled terms and successful completion of each course on the first attempt.

Footnotes:

¹ Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF): The Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) is administered by the California BPPE and applies only to California residents. The STRF fee is currently zero dollars ($0.00) per one thousand dollars ($1,000) of institutional charges The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state-imposed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition. You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if you are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program. 

² If an applicant requests that a course, or courses, taken at another university be reviewed for transfer credit, the applicant is charged $75 for each course reviewed.  For each course approved for transfer credit, the cost of the applicant’s program will be reduced by the cost of the course that does not have to be taken and the number of courses the applicant will be required to take to complete degree requirements will be reduced by one. Textbook costs will be reduced by the cost of the textbook that would have been used in the AU course.
