<p>Casino, UA lowered the maximum credit limit without an extra charge to 16 (from 17) in Fall 2009. As the scholarships I and many others received were accepted when the limit was 17 credits, we were able to take 17 credits without an additional tuition charge. </p>

<p>IIRC, the credit limit for those with scholarships was raised to 20 starting in Fall 2010.</p>

<p>The per credit limit charge for OOS students is high because Alabama law sets a minimum rate for OOS tuition charges, 250% of the in-state rate IIRC. This is part of the reason why scholarships are for “the value [or a proportion] of tuition” rather than “tuition or a portion thereof.” It has a side benefit of allowing students to use private scholarships that can only be used towards tuition as the UA scholarships can be applied to other costs.</p>

<p>I’ve looked through all the Scholarship paperwork my son received and I don’t see anything about the maximum credit hours. He has the UA Scholarship plus the Engineering Scholarship which covers the rest of the tuition - what would be the maximum hours covered with his scholarship? - Thanks!</p>

<p>Which UA scholarship does he have? The Presidential? UA Scholar? </p>

<p>Does he have full tuition either thru the Presidential or the UA Scholar plus Eng’g? If so, then his scholarships will cover up to 20 credits per semester.</p>

<p>Edited to add…</p>

<p>Just saw an older post…your son has the UA Scholar plus eng’g supplement…so he’s fine. He’s good for 20 credits per semester.</p>
