List the typical tuition, required fees, and food and housing for a full-time undergraduate student for the full 2024-2025 academic year. (30
semester hours or 45 quarter hours for institutions that derive annual tuition by multiplying credit hour cost by number of credits).
A full academic year refers to the period of time generally extending from September to June; usually equated to two semesters, two
trimesters, three quarters, or the period covered by a four-one-four plan.
Food and housing is defined as double occupancy and 19 meals per week or the maximum meal plan.
Required fees include only charges that all full-time students must pay that are not included in tuition (e.g., registration, health, or activity
fees.)
Do not include optional fees (e.g., parking, laboratory use).
