I just checked my account and due to non residency I am being charged $350 for the BOG degree. Is this accurate anyone else experience this?

Yes, it was increased for the Fall term from only the new student fee of $130 to $350 (inclusive of new student fee).

Yes, having said that, I wonder if 1 credit would be cheaper, but I think it's about the same price... It's gone from "free - cost of transcripts", to $130, and now to $350. It's still the cheapest, easiest, fastest, and best ROI/Value associates you can get, people use it as a stepping stone, or it's required for UMPI BAS, if you're getting the extra 40+ technical credits. For most people, If it's a deal for you, go for it, if it's not something you're looking at, skip it...

Edit Reason: added new student fee
)
1 credit is $569 for non-residents + the $130 new student fee for 2024-25 + $200 tech fee, so the new BOG fee is still more affordable by more than half.

I guess I lucked out. I will graduate on August 2nd and only paid the 130 fee. Even if it were 5 times that cost, it would still be worth it to me.

Hi,
Where do you check to find this infor. Do you get this after graduation application? How many RA credits did you sent to pierpont? I am currently taking the ASU 1 credit course and I want to make sure they still accept just 1 RA credit.
