Explanation of Fees
1 Listed cost is the combined total for a standard double room and the prime meal plan.
2 An annual $1,000 Student Activity Fee ($500 per semester) is applied to all full-time student accounts who first enroll at BW in fall 2024. This fee is applied to the student balance, $500 each semester, and is eligible for financial aid support. This fee is not refundable. The fee is used to enhance the quality of activities that directly benefit students, including programs, services, student facility improvements, and events. These activities enrich the student experience, build community, and help students stay on track toward graduation.
- Variations on Student Activity Fee amount for other full-time students:
- Full-time students who originally enrolled as first-year students at BW prior to fall 2024: $700 ($350 per semester)
- Full-time students who originally enrolled as transfer students at BW prior to fall 2024: $350 ($175 per semester)
- Note: Students are charged the full cost of the Student Activity Fee, but they receive a credit that leads to the net cost of the fee as outlined.
3 A one-time $200 Onboarding Fee for first-year and transfer students provides access to online, virtual and in-person orientation and onboarding programs that ensure a successful start at BW. This fee is applied to the student balance and is not eligible for financial aid support. This fee is not refundable.
