Tuition & Fees
Before choosing a plan of study, it is important that you understand the financial commitment. It is the ELTI’s goal to be clear about program costs. If you have any questions about the information below, please email us at elti@charlotte.edu.
Important to Know:
- All ELTI students regardless of full- or part-time enrollment must pay both tuition and fees.
- The ELTI does not offer in-state tuition. Everyone pays the same price.
- The ELTI does not accept any payment plan other than the official UNC Charlotte plan. It is your responsibility to sign up for the payment plan before any posted deadlines.
- Parking, textbooks, meals, accommodation, health insurance, and other costs associated with life in Charlotte are not included in the tuition and fees.
- For current information about on-campus housing and on-campus meal rates, please visit the Housing and Residence Life website and the Auxiliary Services website .
- For current information about the cost of health insurance, which is required for all ELTI students, please visit the Student Health website . While we strongly recommend the UNC Charlotte plan, students can provide proof of their own insurance as long as it meets the university’s health insurance requirements.

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.
