Interpreting Your Bill Each Semester

• Online Learning: Fee of $30 per credit hour to cover the costs of the Learning Management System (LMS) and/ or Video Conferencing software. Please note there is no flat spot for this fee.
• Blended fee: Fee of $17 per credit hour to cover additional LMS and technology support.
• Campus-based fees: Campus-based fees will be applied per the Tuition and Fee structure for all face-to-face, online, video conference and blended classes.

Please note, students enrolled exclusively in online and or video conferencing courses may opt in to Distance-Only Status to waive certain campus based fees and immunization requirements.

Distance-Only status is generally not applied to a student account automatically. You can change your status online with the Office of the Registrar. 

Choosing the Right Modality for You

There are a number of different distance education course modalities available to students. Please familiarize yourself with the following distance education modalities:

1. Internet or Online delivery implies that 100% of the course section is offered completely online and delivered asynchronously, with no face-to-face interaction between instructors and students.
2. Video Conferencing is characterized by a course section offered through scheduled (synchronous) interactive video, including desktop conferencing.
3. Blended delivery is designed specifically to be delivered partially online in an asynchronous format and partially through face-to-face (F2F) interaction, typically in the classroom. Both online and F2F interactions are required for the course. This delivery is characterized by the expectation of reduced F2F class meeting time when compared to the equivalent credit classroom course.
4. Hybrid-Flexible or ‘Hyflex’ delivery is any class section where students may choose to attend either in an assigned face-to-face environment or in an online environment, synchronously or asynchronously.
