The tuition and academic fees paid by UNCG students only partially cover the cost of the education they receive. The remaining costs are met by funds from the State of North Carolina, from the UNCG Excellence Fund,
and from alumni, friends, corporations, foundations, and the federal government. The figures listed below are proposed graduate tuition and fees per credit hour for the 2008-2009 academic year. Tuition and fees are due in full
on or before registration day of each semester. All students are responsible for payment of tuition appropriate to residence status. Payment of fees is a prerequisite to completion of registration. UNCG reserves the right to
make changes in these charges without advance notice.
Special Fees
Athletic, Activity, and Facilities Fees
Payment of these fees gives students access to athletic events, campus organizations, Elliott University Center (student union), and many other student programs.
Current UNCG Students
A registered full-time UNCG student may audit one course per semester without charge. A registered part-time UNCG student may audit no more than two courses per semester and is charged a fee of $15 per course.
Visiting Auditors
Visiting auditors are classified as non-UNCG students who wish to take a course(s) without receiving a record of enrollment. Such individuals must apply to register through the Division of Continual Learning. A visiting auditor will not receive a record of enrollment and is charged a $50 fee for lecture courses. Visiting auditors are admitted to lecture courses when space is available with the approval of the department head in consultation with the instructor teaching the course requested.
Registered auditors (persons not officially enrolled at UNCG) who do require a record of enrollment as an auditor should file a VISIONS form with The Graduate School and follow regular registration and payment procedures. A fee equal to in-state or out-of-state tuition rates is charged for each course audited. Fees are payable in full at the time of registration.
To audit a 600- or 700-level course, a student must hold a bachelor’s degree.
The fee to publish the thesis or dissertation is payable via the online submission system available on The Graduate School’s web site.
The graduation fee of $55 for master’s and Specialist in Education candidates, $70 for the combined M.S./Ed.S. candidates, and $60 for doctoral candidates is payable in the Cashier’s and Student Accounts Office. Students who do not graduate in the term for which they originally applied must file a new application. Check with The Graduate School regarding your status.
The health service fee supports part of the services provided in the Student Health Services, including medical and mental health services and health education programs. Routine office visits are prepaid in the health fee. Examples of costs not covered by the health fee include pharmacy purchases, orthopedic aids, x-rays, and laboratory tests.
Tuition for the nonacademic clinical residency at North Carolina Baptist Hospital is $2900 per year. The clinical residency fee, payable to North Carolina Baptist Hospital, is due at the beginning of each year. All tuition and fees are due on or before the day of registration.
A single printing fee of $300 is charged by North Carolina Baptist Hospital for the large number of handouts issued to the student. Additionally, a $20 activity fee and $120 Medatrax fee will be charged.
The clinical residency fee for the Raleigh School of Nurse Anesthesia is $4500. A single printing fee of $75 is charged for handouts issued to the student as well as a $20 activity fee and $120 Medatrax fee.
Use of the University Libraries
Students must be registered for credit if they wish to use their UNCG ID card to use the University Libraries. If the Libraries are to be used for one month or less, such as to finish incompletes or for special assignments, students may obtain a letter from The Graduate School or their professor and present it to the Access Services Department in Jackson Library. During the summer months, students who preregistered for Fall may check books out of the University Libraries without being registered for credit or securing special approval.
