Tuition and Fees
The tuition a student is assessed each semester varies according to the number of credit hours for which a student is enrolled, residency, and program of study. Tuition is based on the number of credit hours scheduled up to a maximum equal to the cost of 15 credit hours per semester.
Full-time enrollment for federal student aid (Pell Grant, etc.) and insurance verification is 12 or more credit hours.
Standard tuition cost is $89.00 per credit hour for in-state residents.
Out-of-state students pay tuition twice the amount charged for Georgia residents. International students pay tuition four times the amount charged for Georgia residents.
