Tuition and Fees 2022-2023
Students enrolling at Arkansas Tech University are assessed tuition and fees to cover the costs of instruction and other student services common to a university setting. Additionally, certain courses requiring individual instruction or special facilities carry fees which are listed with the course description.
Students enrolling for twelve or more semester hours of undergraduate courses for the fall or spring semester are considered full-time. Tuition is assessed for each course at the appropriate credit-hour rate according to residency for full-time and part-time students. Instate tuition is $242.50 per credit hour ($485 per credit hour for out-of-state students).
Students enrolled for any semester, including summer sessions, are assessed a $17.25 per credit hour technology operations fee, a $12.78 per credit hour instructional support fee, a $18.77 per credit hour facilities fee, a $2.60 per credit hour student activity fee, a $9.08 per credit hour health and wellness fee, a $21.00 per credit hour athletic student fee, a $2.38 per credit hour public safety fee, a $1.35 per credit hour library fee and a Student Union/Recreation Center fee: $8.60 per SSCH.
Students in a qualified online program, meeting certain criteria will not pay the Public Safety Fee, Student Recreation/Student Union Fee and Student Activity Fee. This criterion is defined as students who are enrolled in a qualified online program that can be completed entirely online, are enrolled in a semester of entirely online coursework, and have no physical presence on campus.
All fees and charges to students are set by the University’s Board of Trustees. Every attempt is made to establish charges in time to appear in the catalog; however, when this is not possible, estimated charges are shown. The University reserves the right to change fees and charges at any time if conditions necessitate or permit the change.
