Students who take more than a full course-load of 16 credit hours could save up to $636.78 during the spring semester.

The University of Toledo has a set tuition price for full-time undergraduate students. However, the set price — as of this semester — only applies to students taking 12-16 credit hours. Those who took additional classes were charged $318.39 per credit hour in “overload fees.”

According to a press release, UT is extending the set rate to include two additional credit hours next semester, allowing students to take up to 18 credits without the addition of overload fees. The press release stated that summer classes are included in the new extended set rate.

This change is all due to the two-year budget approved in June by the state of Ohio, which said universities are no longer allowed to apply overload fees.

“Finding additional ways to keep a college degree financially accessible to students is one of my top priorities,” UT President Sharon Gaber said in the press release. “This initiative will financially benefit many of our learners immediately.”
