Tuition

Tuition is the instructional fee assessed per credit hour that a student is enrolled for. Grants should budget for full-time tuition, at the resident or in-state rate, for GTF appointments. If the federally-negotiated Facilities and Administrative (F&A) or “indirect” cost rate is applied to the project, then tuition is excluded from F&A charges. Some agencies do not apply the federal rate, and tuition may be charged with indirect costs unless specifically excluded. (Note: Non-instructional fees for energy, technology, building, incidental, rec center and health service fees are budgeted separately from tuition, as Fees under Fringe Benefits. As part of Fringe Benefits, non-instructional fees are charged with F&A or indirect costs.)
