Pay tuition
The cost for a three-hour dual credit course is currently $150 ($50/credit hour) with a $15 per credit hour fee, and a program fee of $8/per credit hour.
For a typical three semester credit hour class, the dual-credit fee is $45 ($15/credit hour), and the program fee is $24 ($8/credit hour). This would make the total cost of a three-hour dual credit course $219.
You can save substantially on college costs through dual credit courses. For comparison, courses not part of TWU’s dual credit program cost $1,198 per course.
- Note: Tuition for courses does not include the cost of textbooks, which varies depending on the course, or the one-time application fee of $50.
- Late Registration: A $50 late fee will be assessed for all enrollments on the first day of class and during the late registration period.
Classes must be paid for by the deadlines outlined in the Academic Calendar. Classes can also be paid for through the Bursar.
