Tuition & Costs
As a first year CRES student, you will usually enroll in five to sixteen credits during fall, winter, and spring terms if you are pursuing the program on a full-time basis. If you are a part-time student, credit enrollment will vary. Summer registration is not required.
Under general graduate student guidelines, a credit load nine credits is considered full-time and five credits is considered half-time.
During the fall, winter, and spring terms, university tuition is based on the “plateau” model where students pay a fixed tuition rate for nine to sixteen credits. Above the 16-credit threshold, you pay for extra credits on a per credit basis.
Along with other eligibility requirements, you must be registered for at least five credits to be eligible for financial aid.
