**Estimated fees include a $88 per semester activity fee (charged to students enrolled for more than 18 units) and a $38 per semester PAT bus fee, and a $75 per semester CMU technology fee. The PAT bus fee allows eligible students to take advantage of all the services of Port Authority Transit without additional charge by showing their Carnegie Mellon University ID. Nominal fees for course materials may also be charged to the student account for some courses.
*** Health insurance fees vary. Full-time students will be assessed an annual fee to cover the cost of the basic health insurance plan offered by the university. The fee will be waived for students who provide the university with verification of health care coverage from another source. Students also will be given the opportunity to increase coverage and will receive information of plan options and prices from the university prior to enrollment. All questions about student health insurance should be directed to Student Health Services.
SUMMER GRADS, PLEASE NOTE: Health Insurance coverage generally runs from August 1st – July 31st. Students graduating in the summer must contact Lori Smith before July 31st in order to extend coverage from July 31st to the end of the summer semester.
