* Rates include mandatory student fees. Students taking all courses at off-campus locations (including distance learning classes) outside of Fayette County and its contiguous counties may have mandatory fees waived. However, if a student who is eligible for this waiver wants to participate in any activity supported by these fees, the student must pay the total mandatory fees. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement with the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, students enrolled at the Bluegrass Community and Technical College have the opportunity to selectively choose services from the list of mandatory fees.
(1) The full-time rate is charged to undergraduate students
enrolled for 12 credit hours or more, graduate and professional doctoral
students enrolled for 9 credit hours or more, and law students enrolled
for 10 credit hours or more.
(2) Students enrolled part-time and in intersessions (e.g. summer
and winter terms) are charged on a per-credit hour basis. Students
considered full-time for financial aid and reporting purposes, but with
less than full-time credit hours, (i.e., graduate students in residency
status) will be assessed on a per-credit hour basis.
(3) The annual rates for Medicine, Dentistry, MBA (“Day
Program”), and the Doctorate of Physical Therapy include mandatory fees
for 2012-13 and 2013-14 of $1,241 and $1,273, respectively. Due to the
transition of Pharmacy rates from per semester to annual, the 2013-14
annual rates for Pharmacy PY 1 - 3 include mandatory fees of $1,273 and
the 2013-14 annual rates for Pharmacy PY 4 include mandatory fees of
$1,098.00.
(4) A half-time 2013-14 tuition and fee rate of $13,472.50 for
resident students and $23,943.50 for non-resident students is
established for those pharmacy students who have been approved by the
Dean of the College of Pharmacy to have a reduced curriculum load.
(5) The College of Medicine tuition and mandatory fee rates are
‘locked in’ for each entering class cohort. The rates do not change
while students are enrolled in the program. A half-time 2013-14 tuition
and fee rate of $17,571.50 for resident students and $31,673.00 for
non-resident students is established for those medical students who have
been approved by the College of Medicine Student Progress and Promotion
Committee to have a reduced curriculum load.
(6) A half-time 2013-14 tuition and fee rate of $15,290.00 for
resident students and $30,547.50 for non-resident students is
established for those dental students who have been approved by the Dean
of the College of Dentistry to have a reduced curriculum load.
