Interim Charges

• Full time students on the block tuition plan - Students enrolled for at least 12 credits for both fall and spring terms, and paying the block tuition rate of $15,810 per semester, are not charged tuition for 1-5 credits taken at Bethel during interim. Fall and spring term tuition is not reduced if students do not enroll in an interim course at Bethel.
• Part time students - Students who were charged tuition on a "per-credit" basis for either fall or spring will be charged for interim tuition as follows: If you're enrolled full time 1 semester (paying the block tuition rate) and part time 1 semester, you'll be charged for half of your interim credits at $1,320 per credit. If you're enrolled part time both semesters, you'll be charged for all credits you take during interim at $1,320 per credit.
• Students not on the block tuition plan - Students paying the post-baccalaureate tuition rate, teacher licensure tuition rate, or audit tuition rate, continue to pay their per-credit rate for all interim credits.

Interim housing is at no additional charge for students who are enrolled in Bethel housing for both fall and spring semesters. Interim meal plan charges are billed with spring charges.

Students involved in off-campus semester programs may be charged interim tuition. Students studying abroad over interim will have additional program costs. Contact the Office of International Studies (651.638.6549) for detailed information.
