1	Per credit hour rates are strictly applied to enrollment in all parts of the summer term (no maximum applied).
2	Those students that reside outside the state of Mississippi (Non-resident) are charged both Resident  T&RF and Non-Resident Tuition each semester of enrollment.    A student will be considered full-time for T&RF purposes when registered for 12 or more undergraduate hours. Part-time students registered for 1 to 11 undergraduate hours will be charged at the per-credit-hour rate. 12 or more hours of enrollment will be assessed at the maximum per term rate (applicable to fall and spring). The same T&RF rates apply to those courses that are taken as an audit.
3	T&RF assessments for course enrollment with the Center for Distance Education are in addition to all other campus T&RF charges. Distance Fees for this same enrollment may also apply.

T&RF relative to Student Activities

All students, by payment of T&RF, are eligible for use of facilities, participation in intramural sports, admission to intercollegiate athletic events, student health services and other miscellaneous activities. However, an additional fee may be required for football admission or some activities because of less than full-time, academic enrollment. These required fees are applicable regardless of the method of course instruction (i.e., traditional, online, distance, etc.)

Course Participation Fees

Fees in addition to T&RF are associated with some courses which require the use of special equipment, facilities or materials. These fees, which vary by course, will be collected as part of registration.
