Tuition and General Fees* for 1998–1999 School Year
(September 1998–August 1999)

*A significant portion of the cost of operating the university is paid from the tithes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Therefore, students and families of students who are tithe-paying members of the Church have already made a contribution to the operation of the university. Because others will not have made this contribution, they are charged a higher tuition, a practice similar in principle to that of state universities charging higher tuition to nonresidents.

**Non-degree-seeking students pay graduate tuition.

Tuition Adjustment—Status Change Between Part-Time and Full-Time

After classes begin, a part-time student who increases the number of credit hours and remains a part-time student must pay tuition for these additional hours on the day they are added. If this is not done, a late fee may be assessed. A change to full-time status requires that additional tuition be paid, plus the late fee.

Late Tuition Payment Fee

Late tuition payment fees will be assessed full-time and part-time students for failure to pay tuition by scheduled deadlines. The late fee will also be assessed students who pay less than full-time tuition by the deadline but who are then or later become registered for full-time status. (See current class schedule for deadline dates.)

Semester

Before semester begins	$50
After semester begins	$90

Term

After tuition deadline

$25

Students whose tuition check is dishonored by the bank will be charged the late fee in effect at the time the check is redeemed.

Tuition Charge/Refund — Discontinuance

When a student officially discontinues from the university, a partial refund of tuition and fees paid may be appropriate. Any refund due will be paid by check, through the mail, approximately 10 days from the date on which the student requests discontinuance. Any unpaid university charges will be deducted from the refund amount.

Note: Late fees are nonrefundable.

The amount of the refund a student will receive is based on the date a student reports such discontinuance to the Discontinuance Office (B-150 ASB). The following rates apply to both tuition and class fee refunds:

Refund Rate Schedule

See current class schedule for specific dates.

	Tuition Charged	Tuition Refunded
Before first day of classes	None	100%

Miscellaneous Fees and Fines

Health Insurance Requirement

BYU requires all full-time continuing students to have adequate medical insurance coverage for the duration of their enrollment at BYU. This applies the entire time a student has continuing status. In addition, all students on internships and groups on tour and Study Abroad must also carry adequate medical insurance.

• provide at least 70 percent coverage for all major medical expenses, including physician, hospital, and ancillary services;
• have an individual annual deductible of no more than $500; and
• have an annual plan limit of no less than $25,000.

Debt Collection Fees

Students' past-due debts are referred to Financial Services for collection. If the BYU collection officer is unable to collect the debt within a reasonable time, the debt will be referred to an outside collection agency. In addition to paying the debt, the student debtor will be required to pay the collection agency fees before obtaining a release of a financial hold on his or her transcript or before being considered for readmission. Also, eligibility for graduation may be delayed or denied.

Estimated College Expenses

Educational expenses have been deliberately kept at a minimum at BYU. At a time when yearly costs at public universities average about $5,000 and private university expenses average about $12,000, BYU continues to offer a unique, high-quality education for much less. This is possible because of Church financial support, which covers a significant portion of the university's total expenses. A single undergraduate student at BYU may expect the following approximate basic costs:

Fall Semester	Winter Semester	Spring Term	Summer Term
*Tuition and fees
$1,360	$1,360	$520	$ 520
Board and room
2,150	2,150	1,075	1,075
Books and supplies
515	515	260	260
Personal expenses
725	725	360	360
Transportation
650	650	325	325
Totals
$5,400	$5,400	$2,540	$2,540

*Tuition for non-LDS undergraduate students is $2,040 for each of the fall and winter semesters and $780 for each of the spring and summer terms.
