forty one percent to the full cost of instruction per full-time student of $4,605. The remaining support for the full cost of instruction is provided by $2,678 of state tax funds. Tuition and Fee Assessment Weber State University does not drop courses for nonpayment. Students are responsible for dropping courses they do not plan to attend. Tuition and fees will not be waived for nonattendance. Once registered, each student is obligated to pay for their courses unless the student has dropped courses or the student completes a total withdraw from school during the 100% refund period. If a student drops or completely withdraws from school after the 100% refund period, the student is obligated to pay tuition and fees according to the current semester refund schedule. Also, a student must pay for or drop courses by the payment deadline to avoid late fees and interest. (See Withdrawal on page 19 for further information.) Tuition and Fees for Online and Independent Study Courses Refer to wsuonline.weber.edu/students/costs.asp for tuition and fee inf ormation for WSU Online and Independent Study courses, or call 1-800-848-7770 and choose "Online & Independent Study Student Services" from the phone menu. Developmental Course Fee Students who do not meet the requirements for enrollment in English EN1010 and Math QL1030-QL1080 (see Assessment and Placement on page 13) will be charged an additional fee for each semester they are enrolled at WSU until these requirements are met. Further information is available from Academic Support Services, Student Services Center Room 160 (telephone 801-626-7847). Course (Lab) Fees Some courses require additional fees for materials and/or resources. Rentals and Deposits Rentals and/or deposits are required on certain items and are paid to the Cashier. Any applicable refunds must be obtained from the Cashier prior to June 30. Surcharge In 2003 the Utah State Board of Regents passed a policy designed to encourage students to make reasonable progress toward completion of degree requirements. The policy states that students who exceed 135% of the credits required for completion of their baccalaureate degree will be charged the full cost of instruction. For example, a student whose program of study requires 126 semester credit hours will be allowed a maximum of 170 semester hours in which to complete degree requirements (126 credits x 1.35 = 170 credit hours). Any work beyond the allowed 135% will be charged at the full cost of instruction which is an additional $60 per credit hour. Credit hours that do not count toward the 170 hours are concurrent enrollment, advanced placement, and credit by examination. Individuals are also exempt from the surcharge if: • the credits are necessary for the student to complete the student's program of study; and the excess credits are a result of circumstances where a substantial number of credits from a transferring institution could not be applied to the program of study; • the excess credits are a result of a reasonable enhancement of the student's major by the addition of a minor or emphasis to the program of study; or • the excess credits are the result of a re-entry into the educational system by a student who may have accumulated a large number of credits, or even completed degrees, but where employment requirements obligate his or her return to college. More information is available by contacting the Cashier's Office at 801-626-8006 (SC 209). 21 Tuition Promissory Note When a student registers for courses at Weber State University the student agrees to the terms of the "Tuition Promissory Note." The note states: For value received, I promise to pay Weber State University (WSU), Ogden, Utah tuition and fees (principal) assessed to me for courses for which I have registered by the published payment due date for each semester. Also, I agree to pay for any additional fees and interest charges that are assessed to my account each semester. I hereby agree to pay a late payment fee of $40 if my account balance is not paid by the published payment due date. In the event I default on this agreement and it becomes necessary to place this account for collection, I also agree to pay collection fees, not to exceed 50.00% of the original principal balance, plus any court and/or attorney fees resulting from the enforcement of this agreement. Any collection costs stated above are in addition to the principal, fees and interest due on my account. In the event of default of any of the terms of this agreement, I hereby give to WSU Controller, or his/her designee, Power of Attorney to apply all monies due me from WSU to any delinquent portion of this note until the principal, fees, interest and costs are paid in full. I agree that WSU may repay my account balance from any TITLE IV funds due me. I understand that the principal amount is calculated based on my class-load each semester at WSU. All outstanding tuition account balances are educational loans extended with the express understanding that future repayment shall be made to the university. I further understand that my acceptance of these terms represents an extension of credit as a loan for an educational benefit by Weber State University, and as such, is exempt from discharge under federal bankruptcy code 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(8).
