Wright State University assesses instructional and general fees based on a set of three cohort fee schedules. The fee schedule used to assess student fees is dependent upon the first quarter of attendance at the university and maintaining an active enrollment status.

Learn more about Cohort criteria and quarterly fees by viewing the Tuition and Fees Web page.

Fee assessment also depends on the course campus (Main vs. Lake) and student level (undergraduate, graduate, medical, etc.), not the course level. For example, a graduate student's fees will be assessed at the graduate fee rate regardless of whether the course(s) taken is(are) graduate or undergraduate.

If you still have questions about how fees are assessed at Wright State University, please contact the Office of the Registrar by phone at (937) 775-5588 or e-mail to registrar@wright.edu. Please note: Wright State University reserves the right to make policy and fee changes.
