Cost of Attendance
The estimated total cost of being a full-time FlexGE student for two semesters is $22,972. Your actual cost to attend may vary depending on the different choices you make for housing and food, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. See the link below for a detailed breakdown of estimated expenses.
Tuition
Tuition for semester and term classes is due seven calendar days before the start of class. If tuition is not paid when it is due, a hold will be placed on your registration until it is paid. If your tuition is not paid by the add/drop deadline, all classes will be dropped. Log into My Financial Center to pay tuition charges.
Health Plan Requirement
BYU FlexGE students enrolled at least 3/4 time (9 credit hours per semester or 4.5 credit hours per term) are required to have health insurance. You will be automatically enrolled and charged for the BYU Student Health Plan unless you provide proof of health insurance by the add/drop deadline. You can provide proof of health insurance and waive the BYU Student Health Plan in My Financial Center.
Campus Jobs
Campus jobs are a great way to earn money and have a true BYU experience. To be eligible for student jobs during fall and winter semesters, you must take at least 6 credits per semester. If working during spring and summer terms you must take a combined total of 3 credits.
FlexGE Scholarship
The BYU FlexGE Scholarship is a need-based award based on a percentage of the number of credits with the typical award level at about 1/3 of the cost of tuition. All FlexGE students are encouraged to apply.
BYU Short-Term Loan
The BYU short-term loan is designed to help students pay tuition by the deadline if financial aid or other payment arrangements have not been finalized. Payment is due mid-semester and students only pay a $20 processing fee and no interest if paid on time.
Federal Financial Aid
BYU FlexGE students are not eligible for federal financial aid through BYU. However, students who co-enroll in a degree program with Ensign College can apply for federal financial aid at Ensign College for qualifying FlexGE and Ensign College classes. Students must work with the Ensign College financial aid and advisement offices to apply for aid and determine which FlexGE classes are eligible.
Food Insecurity
It's not uncommon for students to experience food insecurity at one point or another while in college. If you are going hungry or you are unsure how you will feed yourself, the BYU Dean of Students office can help.
