Payment of tuition for a Master’s thesis entitles the candidate, during the period of registration, to the advice and direction of the member of the faculty under whom the thesis is to be written. In case a thesis is unfinished, additional time may be granted in accordance with the regulations of the school in which the student is registered.
† The tuition fee is to be paid at the rate of $475.00 a semester or in full at the beginning of each stage of the doctorial discipline. No “continuous registration” fee will be charged if a third year is needed for completion of either part of the degree requirements. If still more time is needed, the student must maintain continuous registration and pay the continuous registration fee.
‡ As long as there is an unpaid balance for the part of the program on which the student is working, he must make at least the minimum tuition payment of $237.50 at each fall and spring registration (and for any summer session in which he registers for academic work).
If the total fee is paid for the part of the program on which the student is working, he may continue to register, without additional fee, for courses approved by his Master in Research, until the expiration of the time allowed for that part of his program.
§ Students in the College of General Studies are charged the University Center Fee only when registered for courses on campus.
