Engineering Outreach Fees
Students registering for EO course delivery pay a per-credit fee, and nonresidents pay the same fees as residents. The cost of textbooks, computer software, and proctoring services (if charged) are not included in EO fees:

Fall 2012 - Summer 2013 Course Fees*
Courses numbered 100-499                  $574 per credit
Courses numbered 500-599               $622 per credit
University of Idaho graduate students (regardless of course number)   $622 per credit
*Fees vary for directed study/research credits, and for full time students at the University of Idaho or other Idaho universities.

Fall 2013 - Summer 2014 Course Fees*
Courses numbered 100-499                  $589.00 per credit
Courses numbered 500-599               $684.50 per credit
University of Idaho graduate students (regardless of course number)   $684.50 per credit
*Fees vary for directed study/research credits, and for full time students at the University of Idaho or other Idaho universities.

Fees are subject to change by the Board of Regents of the University of Idaho. 

Payment in full is expected prior to the first day of the semester to avoid late fees (see EO Calendar). You will not be dropped from your course(s), nor is your registration canceled if payment is not received.  You are responsible for notifying Engineering Outreach if you decide to drop a course or withdraw (see Drops, Adds & Incompletes). You are responsible for any non-refunded portion of the fees, including late fees, regardless of whether course materials have been shipped or received.

Late Fees
Late fees begin at $75 and increase over time, depending upon when you register and pay for EO courses, and are not refundable if you drop the course.

If you register prior to the first day of the semester, but fail to pay by the first day of the semester, a $75 late payment fee will automatically be assessed to your account.  If payment has not been received by the 10th day of classes, the late payment fee increases to $175.  An additional late fee of $100 per month is added each month the balance is not paid in full.  

If you wait to register until after the first day of the semester, you will be charged a $50.00 EO late production fee in addition to the late payment fees. 

See Admission & Registration FAQs for examples of late fee calculations.

Payment Options
Fee assessment initially occurs approximately one month prior to the start of the semester, and then on a daily basis after the initial assessment. After your fees have been assessed, you may pay by credit card, E-check, regular check or money order, or by sending a tuition voucher from your employer. 

Credit/Debit Card Payments
You may submit your credit card number with Engineering Outreach using the Payment Information form at EO Forms. There is no additional transaction fee for using this credit card payment form.

Or, you may make a credit card payment using VandalWeb. You will need your student ID number and PIN to access the VandalWeb system. If you cannot locate your student ID number or have forgotten your PIN, please contact the EO Student Services Coordinator by email or by calling (800) 824-2889, press 2.

  1. Login to VandalWeb
  2. Select Student Account Information
  3. Select Student Accounts Center
  4. If you have your pop-up locker on, select Continue to Payment Pages. If you have your pop-up blocker off, another tab or window will open to the Student Account homepage.
  5. Under My Account, you can choose to Make a Payment or to View Account Activity
All credit card payments that are paid using VandalWeb will generate a 2.5% transaction fee that will be added to the payer's credit card balance. This is a service charge that returns to the credit/debit card company and will not be credited to the University of Idaho or appear on any University fee statements.

Electronic Bank Transfer (E-Check) Payments
You may also pay with an E-check on VandalWeb.  You will enter your checking account and routing number, and the payment will be drawn from your checking account. There are no additional fees associated with using E-Checks.

Check or Money Order Payments
Make checks or money orders payable to "Bursar, University of Idaho" and mail to:

Refunds
To receive a full refund, courses must be dropped by the close of the tenth day of classes. For more information, and to view a complete refund schedule, see Drops, Adds & Incompletes and the EO Calendar.  Students are responsible for any non-refunded portion of the fees, including late fees, regardless of whether course materials have been shipped or received.

Additional Costs
In addition to registration fees, the following costs may be associated with Engineering Outreach courses:

  • Textbooks: Typically $100 or more; see Textbooks and Software and the University of Idaho VandalStore
  • Course notes: Some courses may require the purchase of a course packet with an average cost of $20. Course packets are listed with textbooks on the bookstore's website.
  • Software: Although some courses require software that can be downloaded for free, others may require the purchase of software; refer to the course syllabus.
  • Internet Access: Email and Internet services are required for all EO students and proctors.
  • Mailing Costs: Expenses to send homework and projects to instructors. 
  • Payment for Exam Proctoring Services (if applicable).

Student Financial Aid
Graduate and undergraduate Engineering Outreach students are eligible for financial aid if they are enrolled as at least half-time students; nondegree students are not. University of Idaho programs are approved by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and students may use GI benefits or tuition assistance to help pay their EO course fees. See Military and Veterans Services for more information.

To determine if you are eligible, or to apply for scholarships or federal financial aid, contact the University of Idaho Student Financial Aid Services Office by calling (800) 824-2889, press option 0, and ask for extension 6312; or visit Financial Aid & Scholarships.

If you plan to use financial aid to pay fees, you must have a completed file in the Financial Aid Office, and the dollar amount of the award must be verified by EO prior to the registration deadline. Fees will be deducted from financial aid checks, and remaining balances will be returned to you by automatic deposit or check.

To set up or edit your direct deposit information, login to VandalWeb and select the “Student Account” menu; then “Direct Deposit Information.”  If a direct deposit account is not set up, any remaining balance from financial aid will be mailed to the address designated as your mailing address in the Personal Information/Address section of VandalWeb.
