The costs of attending Drury University are listed below. Please examine the information carefully. It is important to become well-informed of the costs of living and studying in the United States.

Students wishing to study in U.S. universities are required to submit official documents such as bank statements and letters from bank officers verifying their financial ability to study in the U.S. International students applying to Drury University must also submit the Statement of Financial Support attached to the application for admission. The university must have these documents before it issues Form I-20 A-B, the Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Status, which students must obtain before applying to the U.S. Embassy for a student visa.

At the time of the interview with the consulate officer, international students must submit the documented evidence of financial resources to meet all expenses for the duration of their studies.

Personal expenses vary depending on individual spending needs.

Tuition & Fees: College of Continuing Professional Studies (CCPS)

Drury University's payment policy requires that all students be either paid in full (net of scholarships and pending financial aid) by the first day of the semester or be current on a payment plan for any balance exceeding scholarships and financial aid. If no aid or payments have been made prior to the first day of the semester, Drury's payment plan requires 25% of the semester balance be paid to attend classes. A new Payment Plan agreement must be completed for each semester in which you register. If you change your registration, the payment plan will automatically adjust based on your registration. If your financial aid changes, the payment plan will also adjust accordingly.

The cost to participate in the payment plan is $40 each semester. The payment methods are automatic bank payment (ACH) or credit/debit card (MasterCard, Discover, and America Express are accepted. An additional fee will be assessed for payment by credit/debit card.) Payments are processed on the 5th of each month and will continue until the balance is paid in full. Email communications of each step will come to the student and family as desired.

Students who have financial aid that will cover their entire semester balance will still complete the online Pending Aid Payment Plan (with no charge unless the aid does not happen).

Please note that students who are not current on a payment plan or paid in full by the first day of classes will be dis-enrolled from all classes.

To find out more information regarding Drury's new payment plan, please go to www.mycollegepaymentplan.com/drury. If you have questions, please contact Drury Student Financial Services at (417) 873-7343 or studentfinancialservices@drury.edu.

Any balance not covered by an approved payment plan will be assessed interest at 1% per month on the unpaid balance, or 12% per annum. A past due student account balance will result in notification from the Director of Financial Services to the student to officially withdraw from classes. The 2013-2014 fiscal year ends on May 31, 2014.

* Discount is available for five or more transcripts ordered at one time.

The various tuition and fees are subject to change without prior notice, but Drury University attempts to provide such change information as soon as appropriate trustee action is taken.

Explanation of Tuition & Fees

Tuition: The basic charge to cover the general instructional expenses, student services, library and plant operations. Tuition covers but a portion of these costs, which also are supported by generous gifts and grants and endowment income.

Student Fee: The university assesses a fee that is budgeted and spent for student activities and services.

Audit Fee per hour: A reduced rate of tuition designed for students and members of the community who merely want to take a course without credit and examinations. The audit fee per course enables an undergraduate to sit in on as many class periods as the student desires in any lecture course on the campus. Studio courses, laboratory courses, online courses and methods courses in education are not conducive to auditing and must be taken for credit. Any student may take one course per semester as audit on a space available basis. The course must be designated as audit before the sixth week of the semester. Prior permission of the instructor is required and student participation will be determined by the instructor. Audit students receive neither a grade nor credit for the course.

Transcript Fee: A charge to cover the cost of processing a request for a certified transcript copy and mailing to prospective employers and graduate schools. Students completing their degree will receive one free transcript.

Information about tuition payment, scholarships, and loans can be found on Drury's Financial Aid Web site.
