Faculty members, please remind students in your summer classes that all instate students who plan to enroll in the Fall 2005 semester need to apply for the College Opportunity Fund (COF) in order to receive the COF "stipend" for their Fall 2005 instate tuition. If students classified as instate for tuition purposes do not apply for the stipend, they will be liable for the full cost of tuition.

The stipend is currently set at $80 per credit hour.

For complete information and answers to common questions about COF, and to see how much tuition will increase for students if they do not apply for their COF stipend, go to http://www.mscd.edu/news/cof/cof_faq.htm.
