Schedule of student charges 2025-2026

The following costs are for the 2025-26 academic year. There are two semesters in the academic year.

The schedule of student charges is published as a supplement to the Augustana College Catalog.

Transitional Living Areas (TLAs) are available to third-year students. Meal plans are optional for TLA students.

Note: All students residing in campus housing for the academic year will have a housing deposit of $150 charged to their student bill. This will be refunded in July of your last year in campus housing, minus any damage charges.

**Any 15 Plus automatically will be assigned to first- and second-year students living in standard housing. However, you may choose a different meal plan from the on-campus options; please contact Dining Services to select a different on-campus meal option.

***Any 80 and Any 100 meals are valid until used in full or to the end of the academic year. These meal plans can be purchased at any point during the year.

Fall semester meal plans will continue for those enrolled in a January term (J-term) on-campus experience.

Tuition

Registration course load and tuition overload policies

Full-time tuition for a single academic year covers enrollment in 34 credits (includes credits for two semesters and one January-term in the same academic year.) In order to be considered full-time, students must register for a minimum of 12 credits in a semester. Coursework in J-term does not count toward Fall full-time enrollment status.

Students may register for a maximum of one J-term experience per J-term. J-term courses are typically 4 credits, but some experiences may vary. Tuition is charged on a per-credit basis for enrollment in fewer than 12 credits in any one semester or 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.

Students who register full-time (minimum of 12 credits) during the fall semester may register for one J-term course with no additional tuition (additional program or travel fees may apply.) Those credits in J-term are included in the 34 maximum for the year. The following limitations apply to overload fees:

1. Students who have previously enrolled full-time with the college for a minimum of 8 semesters have these limitations based on enrollment with regular full time tuition for a single semester:
   • Enroll in Fall only: students have a maximum of 18 credits in fall alone before overload fees apply.
   • Enroll in Fall + J: students have a maximum of 20 credits across that period (16 Fall + 4 J) before overload fees apply.
   • Enroll in Spring only: students have a maximum of 18 credits in spring alone before overload fees apply.
2. Students who have enrolled in fewer than 8 semesters as a full time student have a maximum of 17 credits across a billing period (FALL: 13 Fall + 4 J or SPRING ONLY: 17 credits) before overload fees apply in their final semester of enrollment. (See also Transfer* below).
3. Any student enrolled part-time in the fall are billed a per-credit rate and are not eligible for J-term. Spring only, part-time students are also billed at the per-credit rate.
4. No students are permitted to begin enrollment in J-term or enroll in only J-term during an academic year. See the J-Term Policies for more information.

*Transfer students have special considerations based on the credits earned prior to enrollment to determine if they have met the 8 semester minimum. Overload fees will be charged for students who exceed these limits. Students may not register only for a J-term course during the academic year.

Students must use their annual allotment of credits within the single academic year for which they are paid.

See the Academic Catalog for the complete policy on registration course load, tuition overload, and full academic policies.
