All students are required to obtain financial clearance before they can be guaranteed their class registration for the upcoming semester. Additional fees may apply to students who do not obtain financial clearance by the designated date each semester. Learn more about Financial Clearance. The Financial Clearance process is one of the components of Fire Ready, which is the clearance process that needs to be completed prior to the start of classes each semester. See what else you need to be Fire Ready here.

How to Estimate Your Total Out-of-Pocket Costs
Simply add up your Billed/Direct Costs and projected Indirect Costs, and then deduct the financial aid you’re accepting.
The tuition for our master’s and doctoral degrees are competitively priced, so at this time, institutional scholarships are not available. However, you are welcome to look into third-party scholarships and/or student loans designed for master’s or doctoral students. Be sure to complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) if you are planning to explore any of these options. Remember to consult with your employer to determine if tuition reimbursement or assistance programs are available.
