Did you know you can take up to 18 credit hours for the same cost as 11 credits at Weber State University? Our tuition plateau allows students to maximize their tuition dollars, graduate faster, and get the best value for their education.

What is the Tuition Plateau?

Once you register for 11 credit hours, your tuition cost is locked in at a flat rate until you reach 18 credit hours. This means you can take additional classes—up to 18 credits—without paying extra tuition.

Why Should You Take Advantage of the Plateau?

✔ More Classes, Same Cost – Once you reach 11 credits, you can take up to 18 without additional tuition charges.

✔ Graduate Sooner – Taking 15+ credits per semester helps you finish your degree in four years.

✔ Better Value – If you’re already paying for 11 credits, adding more classes makes your tuition dollars go further.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

1. What is the tuition plateau at Weber State University?

The tuition plateau means that once you enroll in 11 credit hours, you pay the same tuition cost whether you take 11, 12, or even 18 credits.

2. How much money can I save with the tuition plateau?

By enrolling in 15–18 credits instead of just 11, you’re essentially getting 3–7 extra credits for free compared to paying per-credit tuition below 11 hours.

3. What happens if I take fewer than 11 credits?

Students enrolled in fewer than 11 credits are charged on a per-credit basis, meaning they pay more per class than those who qualify for the plateau.

4. What if I take more than 18 credits?

Once you exceed 18 credit hours, additional tuition charges apply per credit. It’s best to balance your course load to stay within the 11–18 credit range.
