Tuition & Fees Important Information
Tuition and fee rates at Weber State University are determined through a combination of factors, including considerations of operating costs, salaries, facility maintenance, and investments in academic and student support resources.
Input from university administrators, the Utah Legislature, the Utah System of Higher Education, and consultations with relevant stakeholders play a crucial role in setting these rates in a manner that aims to balance affordability with sustaining educational quality.
Tuition and fees are added to students’ bills as they register for classes, and they are due the Friday before classes begin; students will be assessed late fees otherwise. Charges are adjusted as students add and drop classes.
Housing charges go through a student’s tuition and fee account.
Weber State does not drop courses for nonpayment of tuition and fees. Students are responsible for dropping courses if they do not attend. Tuition and fees are not waived for nonattendance.
Students can sign up for one of our interest-free payment plans if they are unable to make a payment.
Once registered for courses, each student is obligated to pay for their courses unless the student has dropped courses or the student completes a total withdrawal from school during the 100% refund period.
If a student drops or completely withdraws from school after the established 100% refund period, the student is obligated to pay tuition and fees according to the current semester refund schedule.
Also, a student must pay for dropped courses by the tuition payment deadline to avoid late fees and interest.
Billing Statements
Tuition and fees statements are available on the eWeber portal in the Student Account Home. Electronic statements and up-to-date balances are available in the student account at any time.
Students are responsible for viewing up-to-date balances and statements in their student account. It is the student's responsibility to make sure account balances are paid in full and on time. Housing charges are assessed through a student’s tuition and fee account.
Paper billing statements will not be mailed to students. They can be printed through the student eWeber account. If a paper statement is required, they can be requested in person from the Cashier’s Office. A courtesy bill will be sent to the student's Wildcat email each week for as long as there is a balance due for the current semester.
Tuition Charged for Excess Credit Hours
“Excess credit hours” are those hours attempted by a resident undergraduate student that exceed, by more than 135%, the number of hours required for completion of the degree plan in which the student is enrolled. Those individuals who accrue excess credit hours may be assessed a tuition surcharge equal to nonresident tuition rate.
The purpose of the excess credit hour policy is to discourage students from accumulating credit hours beyond those needed to graduate without completing a course of study leading to a degree.
Tuition for repeating a course more than once shall also be charged at the nonresident tuition rate unless the institution determines that the repetition is a result of illness, accident or other cause beyond the student’s control or unless the course is prescribed by the student’s program of study.
The semester credit hours counted toward the limitation include all hours attempted by the student except those:
- Earned through concurrent enrollment, advanced placement, and credit by examination
- Resulting from re-entry into the educational system by a student who may have accumulated a large number of credits, or even completed degrees, but where employment requirements obligate his or her return to college
- Resulting from a defensible change in major
- Developmental education credit
