NOTES
1 Rates include tuition and mandatory student fees; any course and program fees are not included unless otherwise stated. Students taking all courses at off-campus locations (including distance learning courses) outside of Fayette County and its contiguous counties may have mandatory fees waived, except as noted below. 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. Students enrolled in programs within the colleges of Dentistry, Health Sciences, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health will be assessed the Student Health Mandatory Fee regardless of the location of courses. Students enrolled in programs within the College of Medicine will be assessed all mandatory fees regardless of the location of the courses.
2 The applicable tuition and fee rate is determined at the time charges are assessed based on the student’s primary academic program. Likewise, the applicable tuition and fee rate for students concurrently pursuing multiple degrees and/or certificates is based on the student’s primary academic program at the time of assessment.
3 Students enrolled exclusively in online distance learning courses during the fall and spring semesters, with the exception of students enrolled in the Master of Applied Statistics degree program, will be charged the Kentucky resident rate regardless of residency status. Students enrolled in undergraduate online distance learning courses during intersessions (e.g. summer and winter terms) will be charged based on their residency status.
4 The President, or his delegate, may interpret the application of these rates on an individual student basis in extraordinary circumstances.
5 Unless stated otherwise, the full-time rate is charged to undergraduate students enrolled for 12 credit hours or more and graduate and professional doctoral students enrolled for nine credit hours or more.
6 Students enrolled part-time 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, (e.g., graduate students in residency status) will be assessed on a per-credit hour basis.

Lower-division undergraduate students (freshmen and sophomores) enrolled in the UK College of Engineering Extended Campus Program – Paducah are assessed tuition and mandatory fees based upon the West Kentucky Community and Technical College’s tuition and fee rates. Upper-division undergraduate students (juniors and seniors) enrolled in the UK College of Engineering Extended Campus Program – Paducah are assessed the applicable UK rates. Students enrolled in this program and residing in select contiguous counties in Illinois (Massac, Alexander, and Pulaski) are also eligible for the applicable Kentucky resident rates.
