Tuition
Basic student charges
Full-time tuition for the academic year covers enrollment in 34 credits (includes credits for two semesters and one J-term.) To be considered full-time and qualify for the full-time tuition rate, students must enroll in a minimum of 12 credit hours in the fall and spring semesters. In addition to the fall credit hours (12), traditional first-year students are required to register for J-term, while returning students have the option of registering for J-term. Students who register for J-term will not incur additional tuition charges; in some cases, they may incur a program fee. J-term classes are typically 4 credits, but study-away experiences may vary.
Tuition is charged on a per-credit basis for enrollment in fewer than 12 credits in any one semester or enrollment in more credits than the maximum covered by full-time tuition. Overload fees will be assessed and charged to the student bill during the spring semester. See Costs and Financial Assistance for more information.
Overload and distribution of credits
Overload fees are assessed to students who exceed 34 credits of instruction for the academic year (two semesters and J-term), or who exceed 17 credits of instruction if enrolled in only a single semester for the academic year (either fall semester, fall semester plus J-term, or spring semester). Applied music credits for which a fee is paid are not included in the determination of overloads, but are counted toward normal tuition charges and credit loads. See the Augustana College Catalog for the complete policy on credit load, overload fees and full academic policy.
Applied music fees for all students
First half-hour lesson each semester (1 credit): $500
Additional half-hour lesson each semester (1 credit): $315
One credit: $500; 2 credits: $815; 3 credits: $1,130; 4 credits: $1,445
Chamber music fee: $100 each semester of participation in chamber music courses.
Health insurance
It is required for all full-time students to provide proof of health insurance each year. For those students who aren’t on a family medical plan, there may be cost involved in purchasing a plan out on the marketplace, but cost for individual health plans will vary.
Health care/clinic fee: $160
Late registration and add/drop fee
If they do not meet the registration deadline, students will not be allowed to enroll for the semester after the fifth day of classes, will be asked to vacate campus housing and leave campus, and will be denied card access. Students also must adhere to the published drop deadlines. In extenuating circumstances, students given special permission by the Committee on Advanced Standing and Degrees (AS&D) to register after published deadlines will be subject to additional late fees:
- Late registration processing fee of $160, plus an additional $80 fee per section.
- Individual late add/drops approved by the committee on Advanced Standing and Degrees (AS&D) are subject to a $80 late fee per section, plus an additional $25 for every week beyond the published deadlines.
- A pro-rated amount may be calculated for courses under three (3) credits.
Late petition processing fee
Students who submit academic petition requests beyond communicated or published deadlines are subject to a $25 per day late processing fee. These include final exam petitions, petitions to AS&D, overload petitions, late fee waiver petitions, late submission of add/drop forms, registration load exception petitions and many other appeals, petitions and requests.

Payments

A non-refundable tuition deposit is required of all students new to campus by May 1. New students are affected by policies appearing in the Admissions section of the Augustana College Catalog and posted on the website. All financial obligations to the college must be met and all borrowed college property must be returned before academic records (diplomas and transcripts of grades) will be released.
