Graduate Tuition
Tuition costs must be applied to all projects that include a graduate stipend, unless prohibited by sponsor policy. The tuition costs are budgeted in proportion to the graduate student’s effort on the project. Summer tuition is included only if the principal investigator requests it. Normally, a graduate student does not take more than three hours credit in the summer, so the lowest rate is applied.
In cases where the sponsor disallows tuition costs, the principal investigator must provide the Office of Sponsored Programs with a departmental fund number from which tuition for the student can be drawn.
Graduate Student Tuition and Academic Fees
Tuition budgeted by the Office of Sponsored Programs includes in-state tuition costs+technology fee+library fee. Engineering, architecture, and MBA students are budgeted including additional supplemental fees.
