Dear Campus Community,
Our water problem on the east side of Scenic is severe and will require substantial time to fix. Therefore, the campus will remain closed until Monday, April 22. I’m sorry for the inconvenience but we cannot expose our faculty, staff and students to unsanitary conditions.
Classes in the Tays Center will continue as normal.
Thank you,
Ken

Tuition and Fees will be determined based on the exact cost of the program in which you are enrolled, and the credit hours you are taking in a single semester.
Books and Supplies will be calculated for all students using national averages obtained from The College Board and/or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Personal Expenses will be calculated for all students using national averages obtained from The College Board and/or the IRS. Personal expenses include costs for clothing, toiletries, recreational and other miscellaneous expenses. You will be ineligible for a Personal Expenses component if you are enrolled less than half-time (6 hours for undergraduates).
Transportation will be calculated for all students using national averages obtained from The College Board and/or the IRS. Transportation costs are based on a student living locally and commuting to class five days a week.
Please keep in mind that your budget will change to reflect any updates you may make to your student record and/or FAFSA.
