Starting with the Fall 2016 semester, undergraduate and most graduate students who are active duty military members – in all branches and including Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) and Guard and Reserve members called to Active Duty – will, regardless of residency status, pay an alternate tuition rate equal to the maximum allowable benefit per credit hour provided to such students by the Department of Defense's Military Tuition Assistance Program.^2,3

This alternate tuition rate will not apply to graduate students whose academic program is the online Master of Business Administration (MBA), since those graduate students are charged a unique tuition structure.⁴  This alternate tuition rate will also not apply to students whose academic program is in the School of Law or the School of Medicine.⁵

Other College of Business and Analytics (CoB) students not noted in the preceding paragraph who would normally be required to pay the CoB differential tuition surcharge, if they qualify for this alternate tuition rate, will not be required to pay that CoB differential tuition surcharge.

If you have any questions, please call 618-453-2993 during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 to 4:30 Central time).⁶

¹ This ATR is not the same as the Veterans/Military ATR.

² Starting Fall 2016, all classes that a qualifying student may take – whether on-campus, off-campus, or online – will have the alternate tuition rate noted here applied to them (unless prohibited above), and the student will also pay the mandatory student fees that are appropriate to their on-campus, off-campus, and/or online class sections.

³ The maximum allowable benefit per credit hour provided by the Department of Defense's Military Tuition Assistance Program is currently $250.00.  Therefore, this alternate tuition rate starting Fall 2016 will be $250.00 per credit hour. 

⁴ These students are enrolled in courses whose sections are numbered 840 through 849.

⁵ This includes students in the School of Medicine pursuing the Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies and the Doctor of Medical Science.

⁶ The above discussion has dealt with the student's tuition.  From the start of this ATR, students have also been paying the mandatory student fees that were appropriate to their on-campus, off-campus, and/or online class sections.  However, starting Fall 2019, those mandatory student fees (as noted here and here) have been eliminated for students under this ATR.
