Evening Course Charges:

Students enrolled in evening undergraduate courses will be charged all tuition and fees associated with the cost to provide the evening programs. As a result, full-time undergraduate day students taking more than 12 credit hours who enroll in an evening (or weekend) course may incur additional charges.  There is an appeal process to waiver additional evening course charges.  Appeal information can be found at: http://www.bridgew.edu/EnrollmentServices/student_res_spec.cfm


NOTE:  Students who no longer wish to be enrolled in a course must drop the course via the Web or in writing in the Registrar's Office by the end of drop/add in order to avoid the assessment of tuition and fees, and a possible grade of "F".  Nonattendance and nonpayment do not equate to an official drop or withdrawal.

The cost listed below are per semester. BSU has two semesters per year. Full-time status is 12 or more credits per semester.
