Specific pricing may apply based on the following:
Per Credit1 - Refers to the assessment calculation for part-time enrollment; less than 9 credits during a semester. Students seeking part-time enrollment must obtain approval from the Office of Graduate and Post-Doctoral Studies. Part-time enrollment tuition is calculated on the per-credit rate and an additional one-time per semester part-time enrollment fee. Students not approved for part-time enrollment will be assessed the full-time enrollment semester tuition charge.
Reduced (Tuition Rate)2 - After 10 semesters of full-time study in one doctoral degree program (excluding the summer semesters), continuing students may be eligible for a reduced tuition rate. A semester of full-time study is defined as a fall or spring semester in which at least 9 hours of credit are earned. Students in the Shepherd School of Music and the School of Architecture are eligible for reduced rate tuition after six semesters of full-time study.
Discounted (Tuition Rate)3 - Programs offered by the Glasscock School of Continuing Studies offers tuition at a discounted rate to Rice University Alumni and Employees.
Humanities Graduate Student Assn Fee4 - Assessed to students enrolled in School of Humanities degree programs.
Away Status - Students classified as "away" (studying off campus for the semester) are not assessed required fees, which include the Graduate Student Assn Fee, Student Organization Fee, Honor Council Fee, and the Health & Wellness Support Fee.
