Tuition & Fees
While we have listed the amount you will pay to attend ELTI courses, there are other expenses that you need to consider. For two semesters at the ELTI, you should plan to have approximately $37,500 USD available for support you in your studies and your living expenses.
The only payment plan accepted by the ELTI is the official UNC Charlotte plan. Students who are unable to pay on time will be asked to leave the program.
Here is the explanation for some important words that you will see frequently regarding paying for your coursework:
Tuition is what you pay for your academic coursework and is set by the ELTI. The tuition does not change from year to year.
Fees are what you pay for access to university facilities and resources such as the recreation center, the library, sporting events, and the light rail. These are set by UNC Charlotte and are subject to change from year to year.
IMPORTANT: Parking, textbooks, meals, accommodation, health insurance, and other costs associated with life in Charlotte are not included in the tuition and fees. These are separate costs that you need to pay. The financial information listed below is for tuition and fees only. All students must pay BOTH tuition and fees, even if they are enrolled on a part-time basis.
| For two semesters at the ELTI, you could reasonably expect to pay the following amounts, although your lifestyle and spending habits will influence this: Room and board (accommodation and meals): $16,000 USD Please visit the Housing and Residence Life website and the Auxiliary Services website for current information on campus housing and meal rates. Health insurance (required for all students): $3000 USD Please visit the Student Health website for the most up-to-date cost. Students are welcome to purchase their own insurance plan, as long as it meets the university’s health insurance requirements. Books, supplies, parking, and other personal expenses not related to the above categories: $6000 |

Additional Information
Part-time Study
Students who are not in the U.S. on student visas (which require full-time study) may enroll in one or two of the three daily classes. Contact the ELTI (elti@charlotte.edu) if you have questions about your eligibility.
Payment
Tuition and fees are due upon arrival and should be paid by the deadlines established by the ELTI. Students who sign up for the UNC Charlotte payment plan must make payments by the deadlines established by UNC Charlotte. Students who do not pay by the established deadlines will be asked to leave the ELTI.
Sponsored Students
Sponsoring agencies must provide an official letter of sponsorship covering the period of enrollment. Students must have this sponsorship at the beginning of the term of study. If proof of sponsorship is not provided, students will need to pay their tuition and fees and be refunded later, once the sponsoring agency has provided proof of sponsorship.
