Three factors go into calculating your bill:
- Tuition and fees
- Housing
- Meal plan
Your tuition will vary depending on whether you attend full-time (12 to 18 credits of classes per semester) or part-time, and whether or not you are a Pennsylvania resident. Your meal plan and housing will vary depending on the options you choose.
