SGUB uses a flat-rate tuition for full-time undergraduate students in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Every major has a cost per credit-hour; which is used to determine the total tuition of the student. Students enrolled in 12-18 credit-hours will have their tuition fees calculated for 12 credit hours. Students registered in fewer than 12 credit-hours will be charged per credit; any credits beyond the 18 will also be charged per credit.
One FAS credit = USD 400
Until further notice, we do not accept check payments.
