Tuition and Fees
The following tuition and fees schedule is effective for the 2017–18 academic year. Tuition and fees are subject to change annually.
Undergraduate Tuition
Tuition is applicable to all students, including those in approved off-campus programs such as Study Abroad and internships. Students enrolled in courses in excess of a normal full-time schedule will be assessed an additional tuition charge. For purposes of tuition billing and financial aid eligibility, full-time status is determined on a term basis and consists of 12 to 21 quarter credit hours per term. Students carrying more than 21 quarter credit hours will be charged for each quarter credit over 21. When repeating courses already attempted, students may be assessed a fee for those courses. Students are assessed tuition upon course registration each term. Summer is considered a separate term. The quarter credit hour rate is $577.

Reservation Fee and Other Fees
Reservation Fee
The $300 reservation fee is payable upon acceptance to the university. The university observes the May 1 reservation fee/deposit deadline and encourages students to research all schools before placing a reservation fee. Reservation fees received after May 1, 2017 will be accepted on the basis of space availability. Reservation fees received prior to May 1, 2017 are refundable. Students must also have an approved payment plan with Student Academic & Financial Services by July 14, 2017 to guarantee a room assignment. Students who establish an approved payment plan after July 14, 2017 could be placed in a temporary assignment regardless of fee payment date, although Residential Life will make every effort to assign students to permanent room assignments.
Requests for refunds of the reservation fee will be granted upon written request to the university prior to May 1, 2017. After May 1, 2017 the reservation fee of $300 (or $150 of such fee in the case of applicants to the North Miami Campus) is nonrefundable.
New Student Fee
This nonrefundable fee, which is uniformly charged, is required of all new students for orientation, testing and term start activities. It is charged to students who start during the fall, winter or spring term.
Medical Health Coverage While Enrolled
All registered undergraduate day students, both domestic and international; all students enrolled in the physician assistant degree program; and all international graduate and doctoral students attending Johnson & Wales University are required to have health insurance coverage that is accepted in the United States as well as the state in which they are attending Johnson & Wales University. If students have health insurance coverage through other means (i.e., parent’s health insurance or an employer program), they do not have to enroll in the Johnson & Wales student health insurance plan. They can opt out of/waive the university plan by submitting the online waiver form to demonstrate evidence of coverage. A new waiver form must be submitted each academic year. Students who are required to have health insurance and do not waive the Johnson & Wales University plan will be charged for it. The online waiver form and details of the plan, including the full brochure and benefit flyer, can be found through Health Services .
