Flight Majors

  • Flight-training fees are to be paid at the beginning of each semester.
    • This is to insure that flight training progresses without interruption due to financial limitations.
  • Any additional flight or ground instruction, beyond each training module and/or course lab fee, will incur additional training fees.
  • Students must plan to cover their own costs of:
    • the 1st class FAA Medical, and
    • In the case of international students:
      • TSA application fee
      • FAA written tests,
      • Charts

Please note: Flight training fees are non-refundable.
Students should plan to complete their training within the semester they have enrolled for the course.
If due to special circumstances, approved by the departments; students unable to complete the training, may be given a specified extension to finish using their flight during the following break or semester. Beyond that exception, unused hours after the semester are forfeited and will be unusable.

International Flight Students: TSA Application Fee for Permission to Commence Flight Training $130 The fee is required for non-U.S. students training as Private, Instrument and Multi-Engine pilots.
