**Fees – Activity Fee, Technology Fee, and Textbook Rental Fees are included in the cost of tuition. Textbook usage fees cover the rental costs of most textbooks; however, workbooks, some paperbacks and supplemental electronic materials may require additional fees or purchase. See the published semester Course Schedule for a schedule of associated costs for specific classes. Technology Fees are calculated into the cost of tuition. Students are limited to printing only materials necessary for academic work when using the computer labs for printing.
Book Rental: Book rental is only available to students enrolled in the traditional academic program division and rental fees are calculated into the cost of tuition. Students must return rental books to the bookstore by the publicized date at the end of the semester. Failure to do so will result in the student purchasing the book at its retail price.
