2006-2007 Academic Year - Trinity University

STUDENT EXPENSES
STUDENT EXPENSES
UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDIES
Trinity University is a privately supported institution. The educational and operating expenses are
provided by payments from students; income from endowment funds; appropriations and gifts from
churches, trustees, alumni, foundations, businesses, industries, and generous-spirited individuals.
Tuition and fees cover less than half the actual cost per student. The difference is paid from the sources
indicated above. Thus, each full-time student attending Trinity University receives, in effect, an annual
subsidy in addition to any other scholarship or student aid granted to individual students.

charged. Summer 2006 tuition enrollment cost will be $893.00 per semester hour.
**Light Meal Plan. See section on optional fees for cost of other meal plans.
***Rates may vary depending on room location. See optional fees for other room rates.
With instructor approval and available classroom space, a student may audit a course at the same
tuition rate as a course for credit.
The University reserves the right to adjust for board and room charges at the beginning of any semester.
Students should understand that tuition and fees may not remain the same throughout four years of
attendance at the University.
