Here are three important facts to consider when you are looking at PTI's tuition.

1. No fees. Your tuition doesn't increase with the addition of fees. At PTI, there is no application fee, no technology or computer lab fee, no university services fee, no activities fee, and no graduation fee. Fees at other schools can add thousands of dollars to the stated tuition price.
2. No tuition increase. Your tuition will not increase from one year to the next. When you select a program and a start date, you will know your total tuition for the entire program of study, provided you do not interrupt your studies.
3. No out of state tuition premium. If you live outside Pennsylvania, you do not pay a higher tuition. All students in the same program who start at the same time pay the same tuition, regardless of where they live.

You may be asking, "Can I afford it?" Paying for college is an investment in your future. Make sure you maximize your financial aid opportunities. When you are ready to visit campus, one of our financial planners will work with you to maximize your eligibility for:

• State and Federal Grants
• Federal Direct Stafford and PLUS Loans
• Scholarships
• Other sources of aid

Many families are surprised at just how affordable PTI can be when they see the bottom line cost.

The only way to know if PTI is right for you is to start with a campus visit. Whether you're just checking us out or you're ready to make PTI your school, we will work with you to design a financial aid package that takes advantage of all the programs available to you.

Reality of College Costs

At PTI, there are no surprise out-of-pocket costs. While most colleges have fees which can add thousands of dollars in unanticipated expenses, PTI has none.

Fees Associated with Most Colleges	Fees Associated with PTI
Tuition and Books1	$14,900 - $47,449	Tuition is based on 2012 Tuition Rates and 2012 estimated Book Costs. Total books and total supplies costs are estimates and can vary based on student use and time of enrollment.   Tuition Increase There is no tuition increase for students once they begin classes. Students are guaranteed that the tuition rate in effect at the time they begin classes will remain in effect provided that there is not an interruption in their program.   Switching Programs There is no penalty for students switching their program once they begin classes. Students receive credit for tuition paid for the original program toward their new one.   Repeat Classes Students enrolled in their original program will not incur more in tuition charges than the total shown when enrolling. Tuition is charged quarterly, based on credits taken, until the entire amount has been charged. Classes needed for graduation after that point are delivered at no additional tuition charge.   PTI Plus Beginning in the second quarter, PTI provides students with the opportunity to take cross-curricular courses in addition to their current load. Students must have a 3.00 CGPA and attendance of 90% or above. These levels must be maintained throughout the period of enrollment in both primary degree and PTI plus courses.
