2022–23 Undergraduate Tuition and Fees

Each semester is billed according to the number of credit hours you're registered for in that semester. Waitlisted classes are not billed until you are officially added to the class.

Full-time registration is 12 or more credits in a semester. Westminster scholarships and federal student aid usually require full-time enrollment.

For each credit above 16, there is an additional charge of $1,638 per credit hour for tuition. See the following tuition and fees chart for a complete breakdown by credit hour of total semester charges. Additional fees may apply for certain classes including, but not limited to, nursing, education, photography, and private music lessons.

Discount Credits

Payment of full-time undergraduate tuition for fall semester earns 2 hours of summer discount credits. Payment of full-time undergraduate tuition for spring semester earns 2 hours of summer discount credits.

A total of 4 earned summer discount credits may be used in an academic year. The earned summer discount credits are forfeited if not used in the same academic year. They cannot be held/used for a future academic year.

If you are not full-time or have not paid your tuition for the fall or spring semesters, the discount credits will not apply and you will be responsible for the charges.

The summer term is only applicable to regular undergraduate programs for students charged at the rates listed in the summer tuition chart. They do not apply to the RN-to-BS in Nursing or Bachelor of Business Administration programs, or any other undergraduate program that is billed at an already discounted rate.

Using Discount Credits for Acadeum College Consortium Courses

Students may use 1 summer discounted credit for a 3-credit course or 2 earned summer discounted credits for a 4-credit course through the Acadeum College Consortium. Acadeum allows you to take online courses offered by other private institutions in the Council for Independent Colleges (CIC) as if they were Westminster courses. During the summer semester, you may take no more than 2 consortium courses. In total, you may take no more than 4 courses overall towards an undergraduate degree. Courses will fulfill elective credit, but if merited, you can seek consideration for a course to count towards WCore, major, or minor requirements by contacting the Registrar’s Office.
