General Student Expenses


General student expenses fall into five broad categories: tuition and fees, books and supplies, housing and meals, miscellaneous expenses, and transportation. Direct costs of attendance, such as tuition and fees, are billed by the university. Indirect costs, such as books, supplies, housing, meals, miscellaneous expenses, and transportation do not typically appear on the university billing statement. The direct and indirect costs of attendance should be included when the student is budgeting for his/her attendance.

Tuition and Fees

The payment of tuition helps to cover the costs for facilities, instructional and non-instructional salaries, equipment and other services associated with Lakeland’s Kellett Evening, Weekend, and Online program. Lakeland University charges for courses in the Kellett Evening, Weekend, and Online Program on a per-credit basis. In addition, some courses may have special fees. Course fees are refundable prior to the first day of class. CMA and CPA courses offered in the graduate studies M.B.A. program are billed on a per-course, rather than per-credit basis and are refundable only if a student withdraws prior to the first day of the course.

The application fee for the Kellett School undergraduate program is $35.00. The application fee for entry into a graduate studies program is $50.00. In both cases, these one-time fees are non-refundable.

Books and Supplies

Kellett School students should expect to pay approximately $150 per course for essential textbooks and supplies (course materials). The Lakeland Campus Shop sells textbooks, supplies, university apparel, offers textbook rental (dependent upon course) and textbook resale services.

Housing and Meals

In most cases, Kellett School students do not live in Lakeland University campus housing; therefore, Kellett School students will calculate their housing and meal expenses as is pertinent to their own individual situations.

Miscellaneous Expenses

The costs for personal expenses vary widely from student to student. Supplies and cell phone usage, for example, are two types of personal expenditures.

Transportation

Transportation costs are the costs associated with traveling to and from school.
