Traditional New Student Registration Fees

Applied Music Tuition

Applied music lessons include piano, organ, harpsichord, voice, band instruments, orchestral instruments, composition and/or improvisation. The University does not necessarily provide the use of an instrument for such lessons; however, a limited number of instruments are available. The applied music tuition is charged to any student taking music lessons (MUSA courses) for either credit or no credit. Students may register for half-hour lessons (MUSA-2000 level numbered applied music courses) for either 0.5 credit or 0 credit. Music majors and advanced non-majors, by permission of the division chair, are placed by audition in MUSA-3000 applied music courses, which is 1.0 credit for an hour lesson. Lessons in composition are available only for credit.

Students pay the tuition rate for the amount of credit earned plus an applied music fee. Students are responsible to make contact with their applied music teacher within the first week of the semester. Students are expected to attend all lessons and show adequate progress to continue in applied music.  

Applied Music Fee  $300.00

The applied music fee is charged to any student taking lessons as above. The applied music fee is $300 regardless of the amount of credit.

Course Audit Fees

Courses taken as audit are inclusive of current tuition structure; fees are the same for credit or audit. Students taking courses for audit that have lab fees associated with that course will be responsible for those lab fee charges. Students taking more than one applied music course for credit or audit in a given semester will pay an applied music fee for each course taken.

Undergraduate students enrolled in more than 18 credit hours per semester will be charged an additional  $534 per credit hour taken—this charge is in addition to the flat rate charge.

ADP Student  Charges 

Students enrolled in the Adult Degree Completion Program shall be charged based upon their specific major as ADP tuition rates vary. 

Each student is mailed a hard copy of their semester bill to their permanent home address that is on file in CUC's Business Services system. To provide ample time to financially prepare for the semester, bills are mailed out 90 days prior to the semester and again at 60 days prior to the semester and are due 30 days prior to the start of the semester. Payments must be made with the University’s Student Business Services Office by the published deadlines for payments. Failure to meet published deadlines will result in non-registration for that term/session by the University.
