Distance Education Fee 

Texas A&M University-Commerce provides instruction in both on-campus and off-campus settings.  Delivery of off-campus instruction via the Internet or two-way interactive video (televised instruction) involves special delivery costs.  Therefore, Texas A&M University-Commerce will assess a distance education fee beginning in the fall semester 2005.

This distance education fee will be $40 per semester credit hour (SCH) in addition to regular tuition and fees for courses delivered via the internet or by two-way interactive video (televised instruction) at an off-campus receiving site. Students enrolled in two-way interactive video (televised instruction) courses at the Commerce site will not be assessed the distance education fee.

Students registering exclusively for courses via the Internet will not be required to pay the Student Center Fee or the Recreational Sports Fee.  The chart below shows the net effect of these fees for students who are enrolled only for Internet classes in the Fall or Spring semester:

Lab Fees

Lab fees of $5, $15, $30 and $45 will be charged for lab courses.  Course fees may vary from $3 to $517 per course.  Please refer to the class schedule for specific course lab fee assessment.

Property Deposit

A $10 general property deposit is required to remain on deposit for each student during his
or her enrollment at the university. This deposit is to insure the institution against losses,
damages, and breakage in libraries and laboratories. If the $10 deposit is refunded or any
claim for damages is filed against the deposit, a student will again be assessed the
property deposit fee. If not claimed within four years after last date of enrollment, the
deposit is non-refundable. To receive a refund of your property deposit, a written request
must be submitted to Student Accounts, Financial Services office after your withdrawal or
graduation.
