The tuition for eCoreŽ is $144 per credit hour beginning Fall 2007. For example, a three-credit hour course is $432, and a four-credit hour course is $576. See this website for full info including additional charges: http://www.georgiacenter.uga.edu/ecore/tuition.html
Most other undergrad course costs are based on a sliding scale, depending on how many hours you take. Sometimes it's less expensive to take eCore courses - sometimes it's more; this all depends on how many total credit hours someone takes and whether a student takes only eCore or a mix. For example, if a student takes only eCore course then they do not pay many of the student services fees and that is a big savings.
Here's a sample comparison based on Fall 2006 costs. ALWAYS check the Registrar's current edition of SCOOP for up-to-date cost information:
3 Credit Hours is 431.51 for on-campus courses versus $432 for 3 credit hours of eCore
6 Credit Hours is 877.02 for on-campus courses versus $864 for 6 credit hours of eCore
9 Credit Hours is 1258.53 for on-campus courses versus $1296 for 9 credit hours of eCore
12 or more is Credit Hours is 1635.00 for on-campus courses versus $1728 for 12 hours of eCore
The real confusion is when student take a mix of both:
They will pay the on-campus rate for the on-campus courses PLUS the eCore rate for the eCore courses. So if they take 12 hours on-campus
then that is $1635; and then they take one 3 hour eCore course then that is $2067
Students who take eCore courses along with on-campus courses are assessed a $50 fee.
Students who ONLY take eCore courses are NOT charged the tech fee.
On-campus courses carry a lot more fees. For complete cost info see: http://www.westga.edu/~admiss/index.php?id=feestuition
The bottom line is READ YOUR BILL!!!! (Login to myUWG/Banweb to view your class schedule and bill, etc)
There are all kinds of exceptions to fees and per credit hour charges- always see the Registrar's current edition of SCOOP for cost information: http://www.westga.edu/~registra/scoop.htm
-costs can vary from semester to semester! Students are responsible for reading their bills and seeking clarification/ resolving issues before the drop/add period is over.
