TUITION AND FEES The Schedule of Charges and Special Fees shall apply, where applicable, to all students at UHCL. Tuition and fee charges are assessed according to the number of semester credit hours for which the student enrolls and are payable at the time of registration. A student is not registered and is not entitled to university privileges until tuition and fees have been paid in full. If payment is made by check or money order, such check or money order must be payable to the University of Houston-Clear Lake. There will be a $20 returned check charge on each check returned. Payment by credit card is also available by using MasterCard, Visa or Discover. Cancellation of financial aid or stop payment on a check does not relieve the student of the obligation to pay tuition and fees. Official notification of Intent to Withdraw received within the withdrawal schedule deadlines is required for any consideration. Any loan or installment contract is still binding even if a student withdraws or drops classes. The charges quoted are those authorized at the time of publication of this schedule but are subject to change without notice as necessitated by university or legislative action. For a current table of Tuition/Fees go to www.uhcl.edu/records, and click on “Class Schedule,” then select “Dates and Information.” Installment Payment Students attending UHCL may pay for tuition and course-related fees by an installment method. The university offers a three-payment option, with a $23 nonrefundable fee with half of the tuition and fees payable at the time of registration. The installment contract must be signed and the initial payment made in the cashier’s office or through E-Services by the payment deadline for that registration period. This form is available online as well as at the cashier’s office. Additional payment dates and amounts for the remaining two installments will be listed in the student’s E-Services Account. At semester’s end, any students who have not fulfilled their financial obligation on the installment contract will have their records encumbered and no grades or transcripts issued. There will be an additional $50 default fee attached to the existing debt. In order for students to be eligible for enrollment in subsequent semesters and have the encumbrance removed from their record, all penalties and contract balances must be paid in full. Outstanding debts are reported to the Collection Division of the Attorney General’s Office in Austin. Installment billing applies only to the student’s initial registration. Any increase in credit hours after initial payment must be paid for at that time. Refunds due students for dropped classes will be applied to the final installment. Installments are not available in the summer. BUS Technology Support Fee This fee will support Business dedicated labs in SSCB. ($50/semester for all BUS students) Differential Designated Tuition The designated differential tuition charged by the School of Business will be used to hire a minimum of 4 full-time tenure-track faculty in the school. These new faculty will facilitate the school in meeting the faculty sufficiency standards for AACSB International accreditation. Doctoral Program Differential Designated Fee The designated differential tuition charged by the School of Education applies to the doctoral-level courses only and will be used as excellence funding to support faculty development and research initiatives. Extended Access and Support Fee The revenue from the Extended Access and Support Fee will support Distance Education and Off-campus instruction, including Web-enhanced and Web-based courses, and marketing. The fee is $4 per credit hour, with a maximum amount of $36 per semester. General Property Deposit (Not included in the Schedule of Charges) Students registering at UHCL for the first time will be required to pay and maintain a $10 General Property Fee. This deposit is to insure the university against losses, damages and breakage in libraries and laboratories. This deposit will be refunded only upon written request made within four years from date of last attendance at UHCL. International Student Fee (Not included in Schedule of Charges) Effective fall 1991, the UHS Board of Regents levied a $65 nonrefundable fee for all international students. Graduate Computer Research Support Fee This fee will be used to purchase and support research databases befitting AACSB International accredited graduate business programs.

Parking Fee (Not included in Schedule of Charges) Beginning fall 2007, a parking fee of $75 for an annual permit, available fall semester only, or $40 for each fall and spring and $25 for the summer semester will be assessed each student who operates a motor vehicle on the campus or on properties leased by the university.
