The comprehensive tuition fee covers a normal academic load between 12 and 18 credit hours per semester on the Lawrenceville campus and 12-18 credits on the Princeton campus. Students are charged the undergraduate rate per credit hour in excess of 18 credits. The comprehensive tuition fee may not include audit and noncredit courses. Any questions regarding tuition charges should be directed to the bursar's office. Undergraduate students taking one through eleven semester credit hours are charged the per credit rate.

Eligibility for scholarships, loans, and housing may be jeopardized if a student registers for a part-time load.

Students receiving financial aid from federal government programs or agencies (for example the Veterans Administration, the Civil Service Commission or State Scholarship Commissions) must pursue a full-time course of study of 12 credits or more to meet the eligibility requirements for continued assistance. Most state programs have the same requirement.
