2This is department charge and a per semester charge, not a per credit hour charge. For executive programs, the USG Board of Regents does not provide direct state funding, thus this program operates more like a private institution. Tuition is returned to the state; the program fee is returned to the program to subsidize the operation of the program. When taken in combination with the low tuition, the fee it is actually lower overall than other programs, particularly if a student takes more than one course per semester. This fee is not noted at the Bursar's office webpage, but will appear on the student's payment screen during the registration process.

Students taking courses which do not meet on the Athens campus may request a waiver of this fee via the OASIS registration system. The student should select code 7 (Fee Assessment/ Waivers/ Payments/ Invoice) on the registration Main Menu. Code 7 will display the fee assessment screen. The student should enter code 1 on the fee assessment screen to request the waiver of the transportation fee.
