Interim Charges

• Full-time students on the block tuition plan - Students enrolled for at least 12 credits for both fall and spring terms who are paying the block tuition rate of $19,435 per semester are not charged tuition for 1-5 credits taken at Bethel during interim. Fall and spring term tuition is not reduced if students do not enroll in an interim course at Bethel.
• Part-time students - Students who were charged tuition on a "per-credit" basis for either fall or spring will be charged for interim tuition as follows: If you're enrolled full time 1 semester (paying the block tuition rate) and part time 1 semester, you'll be charged for half of your interim credits at $1,620 per credit. If you're enrolled part time both semesters, you'll be charged for all credits you take during interim at $1,620 per credit.
• Students not on the block tuition plan - Students paying the post-baccalaureate tuition rate, teacher licensure tuition rate, or audit tuition rate continue to pay the per-credit rate for all interim credits.

Interim housing is at no additional charge for students who are enrolled in Bethel housing for both fall and spring semesters. Interim meal plan charges are billed with spring charges.

Students participating in off-campus semester programs may be charged interim tuition. Students studying abroad over interim will have additional program costs. Contact the Office of Off-Campus Programs (651.638.6549) for detailed information.
