ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Undergraduate Tuition and fees for 2006-07 : $26,280 which includes 12-16 credits per semester. Any additional credits are $610 per credit.

Room and Board for an entering freshman is $10,700 and includes 19 meals per week.

Transfer and upperclass students room charges vary depending on building chosen, and some housing options include kitchens, so those students are not on a meal plan.

To apply for Financial Aid, we ask that you file the FAFSA as soon after January 1 as possible and indicate that Quinnipiac (code 001402) should receive a copy of your information.

The Admissions Office handles scholarship notification and takes into consideration a student's rank in class (where high schools do not provide one, we will estimate whether the student is likely to be in the top 10% or 20% of their class), and their highest SAT Reasoning Test or ACT composite score. In general, students should be in the top 15% of their high school class and have critical reading plus math scores of 1150 or higher (or an ACT composite of 26 or higher) to be considered for a scholarship. Awards range from $5,000 to $15,000 per year and are renewable providing a student maintains a 3.0 gpa at Quinnipiac.
