Tuition Differential Policy
Continuing education students who took courses which are applicable to BFA or certificate program requirements must pay the tuition differential for those courses upon matriculating into a formal pro- gram of study. The student is responsible for paying the tuition differential for each course which he/ she wishes to upgrade from continuing education to BFA or certificate credit. This differential calculation is based on the tuition rates for the semester(s) during which the student completed applicable courses. For example, a student took 2-Dimesional Design for continuing education credit in fall 2010 and paid $1,312. In the fall of 2010, BFA credit for this course was $2,251. Upon changing his status from continuing education to BFA, the student is responsible for paying the difference of $939 to apply the course toward his BFA requirements.
