2012-2013 Undergraduate Programs
Tuition
Tuition and fees cover approximately two-thirds of
the cost to operate CIU. Thus tuition pays only a
part of instruction costs, including use of the
Learning Resources Center, Field Education, use
of the Academic Computing Lab and facilities
provided for students not included in the cost of
room and board.
Audit Fee
An audit fee is charged for any audited classes.
The fee applies for both full-time and part-time
students.
Housing Deposit
A housing deposit is required of all students living
in campus residences. For entering students this
fee is to be paid at the same time the enrollment
deposit is paid, within 21 days following accept-
ance. The housing deposit is held to reserve the
student’s residence hall space as long as the stu-
dent continues living in the residence hall. It is
refunded upon the student’s departure from the
residence hall (see Refunds).
Room and Board
The room and board fee must be paid in full at the
beginning of each term. All students living on
campus are required to participate in one of the
meal plans offered. (Exceptions are given only on
request of a physician.) The 21meal plan includes
all meals Monday through Sunday. The 14 meal
and 10 meal plans include any 14 or 10 meals of
the student’s choice during the one week period
from Monday breakfast through Sunday dinner.
Also, “block” meal plans are available offering
200, 165 and 120 meals over the course of a
semester.
Technology and Student Activity Fees
Each student currently enrolled in classes and
taking six (6) credit hours or more will be
assessed student services and activity fees. All
students enrolled in classes, either on campus or
online, will be assessed a technology fee of $10
per credit hour ($120 maximum per semester).
Textbooks and Supplies
The cost of textbooks and supplies for the First
Year will average about $400 for the first semester
and $300 for each succeeding semester. This fig-
ure includes an edition of the New American
Standard Version of the Bible, a standard college
dictionary, Bible concordance and the other refer-
ence texts.
Exam Rescheduling Fee
This fee applies to any student request for
rescheduling of an examination that requires the
Academic Success Center to arrange the exami-
nation at an alternate time.
Transcripts
A charge of $10 is made for each transcript
requested.
