Utah Admin. Code R765-165-8 - Tuition, Fees, and Other Charges

Regular tuition and fees may not be charged to high school students for participation in this program.

8.1. Admissions Fee - Students may be assessed a one-time admissions application fee per institution, which satisfies the general admissions application fee requirement for a full-time or part-time student at an institution. The institution may not charge any additional admissions application fees for continuous enrollment at that institution following high school graduation.

8.2. Participation Fee - The UBHE may charge a one-time fee for students to participate in the concurrent enrollment program. Paying this fee does not satisfy the general admissions application fee required for full-time or part-time students at a USHE institution.

8.3. Partial Concurrent Enrollment Tuition - USHE institutions may charge a secondary student partial tuition for each concurrent enrollment course for which the student receives college credit in the following amounts:

8.3.1. a USHE institution may charge a concurrent enrollment student who qualifies for free or reduced school lunch partial tuition of up to $5 per credit hour;

8.3.2. if a concurrent enrollment course is taught by a public school educator in a public school facility, a USHE institution may charge up to $10 per credit hour;

8.3.3. if a concurrent enrollment course is taught over interactive video conferencing (IVC), a USHE institution may charge up to $15 per credit hour; and

8.3.4. if a concurrent enrollment course is taught on a USHE campus, a USHE institution may charge up to $30 per credit hour.

8.4. The UBHE shall annually report to the Legislature's Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee on regular tuition savings to CE students, any partial CE tuition charged, and justification for the distribution of money appropriated for concurrent enrollment, pursuant to Section 53E-10-308.

8.5. Fee Waivers - Concurrent enrollment program costs attributable only to college credit or enrollment are not subject to fee waiver under Rule R277-407. A student's costs related to concurrent enrollment classes, which may include consumables, lab fees, copying, and material costs, as well as textbooks required for the course, are subject to fee waiver consistent with Rule R277-407. The LEA is responsible for these waivers. The contract between the USHE institution and the LEA may address the responsibility for fee waivers.
