Laboratory Fees/Course Fees/Technology Fees

Students will be assessed a laboratory fee/course fee if they enroll in any of the courses so designated in the schedule (e.g., "LAB FEE $25.00").

Students will be assessed a technology fee based on the Academic Unit in which they are enrolled, as well as, the number of credit hours in which they are enrolled. Please see the Tuition & Fees page for specific amounts.

Payment for laboratory fees/course fees/technology fees may be made in full at the Cashier/Student Accounts Office after registration according to the deferred payment schedule (see Fee Payment Policy). The laboratory fee/course fee/information technology fee is refundable if the course is dropped prior to the beginning of the third week of classes in a full term, and prior to the beginning of the second week of classes in a half term. The procedure for obtaining a refund is described in the section "Change of Fees and Refunds."

Late Registration Fee

A late registration fee of up to $45 will be assessed for anyone registering later than two weeks after the first day of classes for a full term and one week after the first day of classes for a half term. It should be noted that students are not ordinarily permitted to register after the first two weeks of a full term and the first week of a half term.

In exceptional cases, however, a student might be permitted to enroll even after the first two weeks (and be charged a late fee) if the student has obtained the written approval of the dean (or a designated representative) of the college or school. Late registrants not pursuing a degree (CM/PDS/PE) must have the approval of the both the Program for Academic Support and the Registrar, as well as the approval of any instructors involved.

Fees Included Within Tuition

Fees within tuition include a nominal charge for parking and other transportation-related services, the health referral service to the Henry Ford Hospital-Fairlane Clinic, facilities debt service, and support for student activities and organizations.

Tuition

Tuition and fees are set by the Board of Regents and are subject to change at any time.  Tuition is based on the number of credit hours elected, and other factors, at a certain point in time (see Drop and Add and Official Withdrawal Deadline Dates).  Reduction in tuition is determined by the withdrawal/drop deadlines of the term, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the withdrawal/drop.

Tuition Refund Insurance Plan

The Tuition Refund Insurance Plan is an elective insurance which provides coverage for tuition and fees.  If a student withdraws due to illness/injury or psychological/emotional reasons, the Tuition Refund Insurance Plan returns 85% of the insured term tuition and fees when specific insurance company criteria has been met.
