Tuition - is this typical?

[Yetanotherdegree]

I'm registering as a part time student, for a degree that is never funded. I'll be paying out of pocket for each course. To register as a part-time student, I will be charged 1/4 of the full-time rate plus a 10% registration fee, per course.

If I do this degree (8 courses) in full, I will be paying the full tuition plus 80% "registration fee."

That seems ridiculously steep to me. I don't have a choice, if I want to do this, part-time is my only option for now, but... Man, 80% more just for the privilege of doing it in a way that allows me to be responsible to my family and the rest of my life? Yikes.

Is this a typical charge for part-time???

Yeah, it really sucks the way they do it.

Cr@p. I was hoping somehow that I had misread it all. I suppose I can hope that the 10% only applies to the course fees and not the full tuition. Maybe? Hopefully?
