Tuition & fees for self-support courses

Tuition and fees for self-support sections (primarily offered through Continuing Education & Outreach Services) are assessed separately from the charges associated with regular courses. The costs associated with self-support sections are listed in the fees column in the Class Schedule. For example, an undergraduate student enrolled in 8 credits of regular classes and a 4 credit self-support class is assessed regular tution for 8 credits plus the additional fee for the self-support class. All WOU credits will count toward financial aid.

The costs of self-support courses do not include Incidental or Health Services fees; therefore, students registering only for self-support courses are not eligible to use services supported by Incidental or Health Services fees, including insurance.

Students who drop a self-support class after the 100% refund period may owe at least partial fees for the class.
