TUITION & ENROLLMENT

Students can enroll in ESL classes either full-time (20 or more contact hours per week) or part-time. 

Full-time students Tuition for one semester (fall or spring) is $2,662.00. Students who have an F1 visa are required to be full-time students during fall and/or spring semesters. Full-time students who cannot stay for an entire semester pay $178 per week. Summer Programs have different tuition prices, so please check for the prices in the section "Summer ESL Programs." 

Part- time students Part-time students are students who take less than 20 contact hours per week. The cost for one contact hour per week is $150.* For example, a part-time student who takes a Grammar course which meets 3 contact hours per week will pay a total of $450 per semester plus a general fee of $85.75 for using the various university services, such as bus, health center, library, wellness center (gym), etc. 

*Tuition prices are subject to change.

If you need a F1 or J1 student visa, you must verify your ability to pay for educational and living expenses during your time of study. Below is a chart for fall and spring semesters that indicates what you should expect to pay during your studies. If you plan to attend only summer classes, please refer to the section "Summer ESL Programs" for estimated expenses.

This price is for on-campus housing/dormitory. 
**The United States does not have universal health care. Further, health care is very expensive and insurance does not cover
all medical or dental expenses. In an effort to assist students, the university has contracted with a major insurance carrier to provide broad coverage for a reasonable cost. This coverage also meets the government's minimum requirements for international students. If you choose not to purchase the university's student health insurance, you are still responsible to carry medical insurance that conforms to the government's requirements. We require proof of coverage at the time of registration. 
In addition: 
Admission Application fee: $25.00 (one time fee, pay when you arrive) 
General fee  for part-time students $85.75 
Airport transfer fee: $65.00 one-way (where applicable) 

PLEASE NOTE:

The ESL Center often plans field trips for our students' enjoyment. You are not required to go on any trips. 
However, if you would like to go, you will have to pay extra money in addition to the costs above. The price will depend on each individual trip and will be announced prior to the trip. University fees are subject to change without notice. Estimates for "Misc." expenses are conservative and will vary depending on your lifestyle. Off-campus housing usually is more expensive than on-campus housing. Students who bring family members may use the chart above and add $4,000.00 for spouse or other first dependent, plus $2,000.00 for each additional dependent (if staying an academic year). 

REGISTRATION & PAYMENT

After students choose their classes during "Orientation," they must officially register and pay for tuition. Students will receive "Registration papers" when they arrive in Kent. Students should pay their tuition when they arrive in Kent. Students can pay with credit card (Visa, Master Card or Discover), money order/personal check or cash.  For Fall and Spring Semesters, students have two payment options: 1) You may pay your entire tuition in one payment. 2) You may pay your tuition in four equal installments. If you want to cancel an ESL class or program that you paid for, you must return to the Coordinator of the Intensive Language Programs, at the ESL Center, Satterfield Hall, room 201-C. 

IMPORTANT---- TUITION REFUNDS ARE AVAILABLE ONLY IN CASES OF PERSONAL EMERGENCIES.
