CIT Fee Schedule:	
The current standard fee schedule for public access courses and programs is as follows:

•	A Registration Fee of $6.00 per registered ‘billing point’

Billing points are calculated as follows:
•	The ‘billing hours’ value currently associated with each course in the CATALOG module is divided by five (5).   
•	The result of this division is rounded-up to the next whole number to determine the billing points for that program.
•	For very short courses a minimum billing point value of two (2) will be applied.

The following examples show how billing points and fees are calculated for some typical CIT courses:	
Example 1:       A course with 54 billing hours:

Divide billing hours by five  

Billing Points  
Multiplied by $6 per billing point	

    =    54/5
    =    10.8
    =    11
    =    $66	
Example 2:        A course with 6 billing hours:

Apply the minimum value to billing hours
Divide adjusted billing hours by five  
Billing Points  
Multiplied by $6 per billing point	

    =    10
    =    10/5
    =    2.0
    =    2
    =    $12
