Tuition & Fees Overview

Undergraduate Tuition Structure

Banded Tuition Rate (Full-Time Students)
Longwood University uses a banded (flat-rate) tuition model for undergraduate students enrolled full-time.

This means:

• Students taking 12 to 18 credit hours in a semester are charged one flat tuition rate, regardless of the number of credits within that range.
• The rate is based on a 15-credit hour course load.

Part-Time Students
Students registered for fewer than 12 credit hours are charged per credit hour.

Audited Courses
Courses taken for audit (no academic credit) are billed at the same rate as courses taken for credit.

Additional Course Fees
Some classes may include course-specific fees that are charged in addition to tuition.

Required Fees (All Students)

Charged per credit hour for all undergraduate and graduate students, including interns, student teachers, and independent study participants.

Student Activity Fee

Set by the Student Government Association (SGA), this fee supports student organizations and events.

Comprehensive Fee
Covers services including:

• Farmville Area Bus (FAB)
• Health & wellness services
• Campus recreation & intramurals
• Student union programming
• Athletics
• Information technology and online course platforms
  • Off-campus students also contribute to the costs of technology and course delivery systems

Capital Outlay Fee
A state-mandated fee for out-of-state students to help fund capital projects in Virginia.

Tuition Protection Plan

College is a major investment, and unexpected withdrawals due to illness or injury may not be eligible for a full refund.

Tuition Insurance Coverage
We partner with GradGuard™ to offer a Tuition Protection Insurance Plan that reimburses costs such as:

• Tuition
• Housing
• Meal plans
• Course fees
  Coverage applies if a student withdraws for a covered medical reason at any time during the semester.
