I think this math is off, as it assumes a single semester lasts a full year. For a full year you would need to pay for multiple semesters of tuition, probably 3 at most universities to cover the summer.
- antcas 6y agoLet me double check, should be multiplying semester by 2 when necessary. Annual insurance fee is already calculated annually.
- finaliteration 6y agoPortland State is actually on a quarter system, so you'd need to multiple those values by 3 or 4 (depending on if you include the Summer quarter or not). Source: I'm a Portland State alumnus.
- antcas 6y agoThanks for this note! I'll include this when I build out v2.
- adrianmonk 6y agoI thought about summer as well. I checked my alma mater's web site. Seems you can get year-round health insurance without registering for summer classes. The exception is when summer is the first time you attend and you want to start insurance before fall. Then you need to meet minimum hour requirements. I'd guess most schools are similar because otherwise they'd practically force every student to take summer classes. But it's good to verify.
- peter_1233 6y agoThanks. I didn't realize most schools allow only 2 semesters for insurance coverage but that makes sense. I did the math with Auburn University and it's definitely off. Unless that school allows an entire semester to last a year? (1 credit hours * $430 per credit) + $2028 insurance cost / 12 = $204. I think it would be 2 credit hours, so: (2 credit hours * $430 per credit) + $2028 insurance cost / 12 = $240
- antcas 6y agoOkay you were right, should be fixed now, thanks! Now the tuition is doubled. The insurance premium stays the same though because that's already the annual rate.
