- The comprehensive fee is a consolidation of individual course- and campus-required fees. This single fee replaces the prior fees for technology support, printing, labs, facilities, tutoring, student activities and other course fees. It does not replace individual on-demand and non-required service fees (e.g., private music lessons, transcript services, health insurance, and parking). All students at ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â's University pay the comprehensive fee.
- ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â’s doesn’t bill students who live off campus for housing expenses. These estimates are based on the average cost of living in the Austin area.
