Graduate Zero Semester-Hour Course Fees
Students registered for zero semester hour graduate level courses (such as the comprehensive exam or GRE for Spanish) with additional courses will not be charged for the zero credit hour course. When registering for a zero credit hour course only, the student will be charged for one semester hour, plus technology and insurance fees. For the reason, it is best to plan on the comprehensive exam while enrolled in your last semester of coursework, in order to avoid additional fees.
