New Tuition and Fees at Charter Oak

[sanantone]

On July 1, 2011, we are transitioning to a semester-based fee structure. This means that as of July 1 we will no longer charge an annual academic services fee. Instead, enrolled students will be invoiced a College fee prior to the beginning of each semester (3x per year). This fee is $165 for in-state students, and $220 for out-of-state residents. Upon enrolling you will automatically be invoiced this fee and registered for your first course, IDS 101, the Cornerstone Seminar. Course fees as of July 1 are $236 per credit for in-state students, and $310 per credit for out-of-state students. Registration for Fall courses begins July 5, and classes start August 27.

So does this mean that you get charged a semester fee during semesters you aren't taking Charter Oak courses, but are completing courses somewhere else? Or just when you're registered for courses at COSC? I'll send an email to my enrollment advisor. This probably won't be an issue for those who don't enroll until they complete all of the tests and transfer courses.

Here is the new cost calculator.

I didn't know COSC offered credit banking services.

Credit Registry at Charter Oak State College

This is what I got after using the cost calculator. I entered that I would be transferring 114 credits leaving room for the two required courses at COSC.

If you are seeking a Bachelor's degree, you need a mimimum of 1 class per semester for 2 semesters from Charter Oak State College. Please bear in mind that all of your credits may not be transferable and you might be required to take additional courses in order to earn your degree.

So I guess you have to take the cornerstone course first during one semester and then the capstone course the next semester? That would mean you would have to pay for at least two semesters, right?
