Tuition
Before you decide to attend a particular college, you need to know how much the college charges in tuition. Tuition is the amount of money you pay the college each semester you attend.
Starting with the Fall 2011 semester, LSU Eunice tuition will be $114.25 per credit up to a maximum of $1,391.25 for 21 credit hours.
Students who are not residents of Louisiana pay $186.00 per credit hour.
| CRITERIA FOR HARDSHIP WAIVER As directed by the Legislature, Louisiana State University Eunice will consider appeals for waiver of the payment of the tuition fee increase for students who meet the following criteria: 1. Louisiana resident
2. Full-time student (12 or more hours)
3. Must have apply for, and be deemed eligible to receive, federal financial aid (i.e. grants, loans, etc).
4. Total cost of tuition, fees, books, and supplies exceeds the total amount received in grants, student loans, scholarships and other types of financial assistance (i.e. VA, Acadiana Works, etc)..
5. The waiver cannot be used in connection with other scholarships that exempt the same fees.
6. Students must also be maintaining satisfactory progress based on LSU Eunice scholastic regulations. You may apply for the waiver if you meet all of the above criteria and have special circumstances. Special Circumstances are defined as extreme condition(s) which exist that may warrant re-evaluation of a student's financial aid file. The circumstances must be different from what has already been reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Applications for waiver of tuition increase are available in the LSU Eunice Financial Aid Office. Please complete the fee waiver application and submit with supporting documentation to the Office of Financial Aid by August 25, 2011, for the fall semester and January 19, 2012, for the spring semester. No application can be accepted after the deadline. You are expected to make arrangements to pay your fees until your appeal can be considered. If the appeal is approved, your fee increase payment will be returned to you or your account will be credited.

LSU Eunice's tuition compares very favorably with the fees charged by four-year universities in the region. You have the benefit of attending an institution with a nationally recognized name while paying comparatively modest fees.
If you plan to attend college away from home, you need to find out the cost of a dormitory room or an apartment and also estimate the cost of meals. In addition, do not forget the cost of incidental items—laundry, telephone, household supplies—that can add to the cost of living away from home. By attending LSU Eunice and living at home, you save on all of these expenses.
However, LSUE students also have the option of living on campus in the Bengal Village student apartment complex. Additional information is available at the Bengal Village web site.
Remember that you will need to buy your own books. This cost will probably average between $150 and $300 each semester. In addition, you need to estimate the cost of transportation to college. Many LSU Eunice students are able to reduce this cost by carpooling.
You also, of course, should consider what you will be getting in return for your tuition. LSU Eunice offers high quality instruction, excellent facilities, experienced, dedicated faculty, and a safe, supportive learning environment.
