Tuition

An Exceptional Education at a Reasonable Price
Every university has its own unique tuition and fee structure. It’s the cost of going to school, and it helps each school provide their students with the best education possible. At Marylhurst University our goal is to balance our tuition with an exceptional education that makes going to school here a worthwhile experience.

Our tuition is broken down by credit hour and, when compared to other traditional universities of our stature, the opportunity and realistic value of an education at Marylhurst becomes evident.

Tuition Refund

A tuition refund is based on add/drop deadlines per each class.

Deadline to Add a Class:
Start date and time of the class as listed in My Marylhurst. A class cannot be added after the class starts, except by department permission.

Deadline to Drop a Class or Change Credit Type:
7 calendar days after the start date of the class, as listed in My Marylhurst (e.g., a class that starts Tuesday can be dropped through the following Tuesday at midnight), except as follows:

• SHORT CLASSES: If the end date listed in My Marylhurst falls within 7 calendar days after the start date (e.g. a class that meets during a single weekend), the drop deadline is the start date and time of the class.
• INDIVIDUALIZED CLASSES (e.g., directed study, independent study, projects, internships, private music lessons) cannot be dropped after the term begins.

You can add and drop classes online via My Marylhurst up to the add/drop deadlines. Classes dropped by the drop deadline will not appear on your academic transcript, and tuition is refunded.

After the drop deadline, you can withdraw from any class through the last published day of the class using a Registration Form. A grade of W will be recorded on your academic transcript and you are responsible for tuition.
