The College reserves the right to make changes in its charges for any and all programs at any time, after approval by the Board of Visitors. The tuition and fees for graduate students in Arts and Sciences who register for nine semester hours of credit or more per semester is $5,702.00 per semester for residents of Virginia and $12,895.00 per semester for non-residents. Any student registered for nine hours or more per semester for any course level (graduate or undergraduate courses) is considered to be a full-time student and will be charged these full-time rates unless qualified to be a Research Graduate Student (see below).
Tuition for part-time students, at the graduate level, is as follows:
$ 385.00 per semester hour for residents of Virginia
$ 1,000.00 per semester hour for non-residents
Degree-seeking graduate students will be charged the part-time rates for part-time work (eight hours or less per semester) based on their established domiciliary status. (See the discussion in Sec. VII for a statement regarding in-state, out-of-state classification for tuition.) Full-time non-resident degree-seeking graduate students who hold qualifying assistantships may, on the recommendation of the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research and approval of the Provost’s Office, pay tuition at the resident rates. Rates for students who enroll in Summer Session will be charged on the same basis. Full-time enrollment in the summer is defined as a total of three hours or more in one summer session or in any combination of summer sessions, and half-time enrollment is defined as two hours.
Part-time students who are not enrolled as degree-seeking students at the College of William and Mary (non-degree seeking post-baccalaureate students), must complete the “Application for Virginia In-State Tuition Privileges” to determine eligibility for in-state tuition. Students determined to be domiciled outside of Virginia will pay out-of-state rates. Those determined to be residents will pay according to the in-state rates.
Charges for part-time students to audit courses are the same as courses taken for credit.
Transcript Fees: There is a $7 fee for each transcript requested. No transcripts will be released until ALL financial obligations to the College are satisfied.
Research Graduate Students
Upon the recommendation of a student’s department/program and approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research, a student’s eligibility for Research Graduate status can be established if the following conditions are met:
- The student has completed all required course work.
- The student is not employed significantly in any activity other than research and writing in fulfillment of degree requirements.
- The student is present on the campus or is engaged in approved field work.
While classified as a Research Graduate, a student should register for 12 credit hours per semester or 6 credit hours in the summer of either the Research, Thesis, or Dissertation course for which payment of the part time rate of one credit hour is required.
A Research Graduate student is not eligible for services that are paid for by fees (e.g., student health, and recreational center) unless the fee is paid. Research Graduate students may take courses other than Research, Thesis, or Dissertation only if payment for additional tuition has been made. |
