Paying for College

Tuition and Fees

First Year Program Fee

The first year program fee is a $100 one-time fee assessed to new, degree seeking freshmen and transfer students with fewer than 15 transferred credit hours.  This fee funds a number of programs for first year students, including:

  • SOAR (Student Orientation Advising & Registration - a mandatory program which connects new students into university life)
  • FYE (First Year Experience)
  • Learning Communities (a unique combination of linked classes)
  • MAP-WORKS (a counseling tool to promote academic success in the first year)

Watch the First Year Tab on myIPFW for additional information on programs and assistance for first year students.
