Q. Do distance learning courses cost the same as other courses? Do in-state and out-of-state rates apply?
  • Yes. Tuition is the same no matter what type of course you take. Online students are still subject to in-state (Virginia) and out-of-state tuition designation. You will be expected to provide proof of residency when you register. Students taking 100% online courses who are not taking any other type of course that term and are not residing on the Blacksburg campus can have their comprehensive fees waived. This waiver is automatic for non-degree students. Degree seeking students who feel this distinction applies to them for a particular term can apply for a fee waiver at the Bursar's Office.
