We do not charge an extra fee for overload credits. We require faculty
advisor permission to exceed 16 credits, but if approved, it is at no
additional cost. Technically, our flat undergraduate tuition is for
12-18 credits, but only a handful of students (less than 20) took over
18 credits last semester.

My sons go to Columbia University, which also does not charge for
overload credits (and also does have some faculty advisor requirement
beyond some point).

Subject: [Eduaccountants] Overloads - Survey

Good morning,

Our Student Council is asking about our overload fee. We are on a term
system. Our FT tuition is $8,355 for 12-18 hours. Above 18 hours the
students are charged $300 per additional credit hour. This is the same
as our part-time rate for less than 12 hours. Last year we had 292
students (FT undergraduate enrollment was 2,339 for autumn term) who
were charged overloads - the unduplicated count was 237 (7 had overloads
all three terms and 41 had overloads in two terms). Total revenues
generated were $160K.

1) If you have a full-time tuition rate, do you charge an overload fee?

     What is it?

2) Do you know how many/what percentage of your FT students pay an
overload charge?

3) What is your justification for charging an overload fee?

Thanks,

Lynne
