Tuition and Fees

The cost of attending Emory University includes tuition and fees, living expenses, health insurance, parking fees, and incidentals such as the purchase of textbooks and supplies. All tuition and fees are determined by the Board of Trustees and are subject to change without notice. Below you will find a list and brief description of tuition and fees assessed graduate students at Emory.

Tuition and Academic Fees
Tuition covers the use of facilities of instruction, general medical and health services and library services. Student Health Insurance is incurred as an additional expense.

Students registered for less than 12 hours a semester are classified as part-time and are charged $1,325 per credit hour for fall and spring 2008-2009, and $994 per credit hour for summer. Full tuition is based on 12 hours per semester during the fall and spring, and 16 hours in the summer semester. Students enrolled only in 999GSAS for 12 hours during fall and spring semester and nine hours in the summer are assessed $1,250 tuition.

Tuition-paid Status
All students will be assessed full tuition charges until they have completed 48 semester hours in advanced standing. Coursework taken at another university will not count toward tuition paid hours. Thereafter, a student moves into tuition-paid status, and a $1250 academic fee, a $50 computing fee, and a $50 mental health fee are charged each semester. Students who wish to use university facilities in any semester, including summer, must register.

Audit Course Tuition
The charge for audit courses is the same as for credit courses. Courses audited may not be established for credit by examination, nor may they be changed to credit courses after the end of the drop/add period. These hours may be counted toward tuition-paid status, but not toward candidacy. Audit hours do not count toward eligibility for federal financial aid.
 
Computing Fee
All students in the Graduate School will be assessed a mandatory computing fee of $50 each semester. This fee supports information technology and computing services, including student email and web access and other computer-supported services. This fee will not be waived.

Student Activity and Athletic Fees
A $86 student activity fee, which finances the Student Government Association and organized student activities and campus events, is assessed fall and spring semesters. An additional fee of $102 per semester ($40 in summer) is assessed each student to help support recreational and athletic programs. Graduate students who have reached tuition-paid status are exempt from student activity and athletic fees.

Financial Responsibility to the University
Students are responsible for maintaining good financial standing with the university, including timely payment of tuition, rent, board, emergency loans and other fees as well as fines that may be incurred from the libraries or parking office. Penalties for past due accounts include but are not limited to: cancellation of registration, refusal to approve continued registration, refusal to release transcripts, and withholding of diplomas.

Courtesy Scholarships
Emory employees must contact Human Resources for information about eligibility for courtesy scholarships. Application fees and tuition for audited courses are not covered by courtesy scholarships.
