Financial Aid
Undergraduate Tuition
Full-time undergraduates take 12 to 16 credits per semester, which typically consist of three or four courses. All full-time students are charged the flat tuition rate noted in the cost chart.
- If you do not register for the semester before the billing process, you will receive an estimated bill. This bill assumes you will register full-time (12 to 16 credits) and lists charges accordingly.
- If you register for credits that do not constitute full-time status, your final amount due is likely to change. Please contact Student Financial Services for an updated bill.
- Students who take fewer than 12 credits are charged the per credit tuition rate noted in the cost chart. Those who take more than 16 credits are charged the overload per credit rate, unless the extra credit(s) are non-tuition credits (which do not carry a charge).
- The cost for auditing a course is $26 per credit.
Students who cross-register for courses at other colleges through the ProArts Consortium pay Emerson tuition rates to Emerson College the same way they pay all other tuition.
