ENDNOTES1 The credit rate for a particular school or average Tuition Level is subject to change in the event that the school, or a school

included in the average, changes its tuition rate for academic year 2017-2018. Some of the credit rates reflect the assessment of a premium designed to maintain the fiscal integrity of the Guaranteed Savings Plan (see footnote 3).

2 Millersville University (PA Resident Rate), Indiana University (PA Resident Rate), Shippensburg University (PA Resident Rate), Mansfield University (All Rates), California University (Active Military & Family Rate), the PA College of Technology, and some community colleges (as indicated on this PA 529 GSP Credit Rate Schedule) charge only by the academic credit, not by the semester. Therefore, semester rates are not listed for those schools. For schools that charge a semester rate, the PA 529 GSP Semester Rate is the sum of either 12 or 15 PA GSP Credits, depending on the actual rate set by the school. See footnote 17.

3 The following credit rates include premiums: State-Related University Average (2.5%), Pennsylvania State University-all Tuition Levels (2.5%), and University of Pittsburgh-all Tuition Levels (2.5%).

4 In calculating the State-Related University Average, all state-related university Tuition Levels that were used in calculating the average for academic year 2004-05 were used; any Tuition Levels that were added in academic year 2005-06 or after were not included.

5 In order to be eligible for this credit rate, certain conditions apply as briefly described below. Please contact the school for more information.

6 The rates for this tuition level are based on the average of Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior tuition charges for all programs of study except those for which separate tuition levels are specified. All payments from the GSP at this Tuition Level will be made at the average Actual Tuition of the class levels used in calculating the rates (Average) regardless of the academic status of the beneficiary. For Beneficiaries at this Tuition Level who attend a private or out-of-state school, payment from the GSP will be made at the Average Actual Tuition rate.

7 For all campuses, Category 1 programs of study include the Smeal College of Business. Additionally, the following programs of study at the indicated campuses are included: The Department of Business at Altoona, Berks and Other Campuses (including Abington), the School of Business at Erie; and Business Administration at Harrisburg and Schuylkill. For information on the specific majors in this category contact Pennsylvania State University.

8 For all campuses, Category 2 programs of study include the College of Engineering, the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, the Eberly College of Science, and the School of Information Sciences and Technology. Additionally, for the following campuses the indicated programs of study are included: at Other Campuses, the Department of Science; at Mont Alto, the Occupational Therapy program; at Erie, the School of Science, the School of Engineering and Engineering Technology; at Harrisburg, Science/Engineering; and at Schuylkill, Science/Engineering.

9 This Tuition Level was added effective September 1, 2003. For contributions made before September 1, 2003, retroactive conversion to this new Tuition Level is available only for beneficiaries actually enrolled in the academic program associated with this Tuition Level.


10 For all campuses, Category 3 programs of study include the Bachelor of Science in Science program.


12 For all campuses, Category 4 programs of study include the Bachelor of Science in Business program.

13 Standard A includes: Brandywine (formerly Delaware County), Hazleton, Worthington-Scranton, and York. Standard B includes: Beaver, DuBois, Fayette, Greater Allegheny (formerly McKeesport), Mont Alto, New Kensington, and Wilkes-Barre.

14 This Tuition Level was added effective September 1, 2007. For contributions made before September 1, 2007, retroactive conversion to this new Tuition Level is available only for beneficiaries actually enrolled in the academic program associated with this Tuition Level



17 Unlike semester rates for most schools, which are based on 12 credits (see endnote 2 above), Allegheny County, Beaver County, Butler County, Lehigh-Carbon, Luzerne County, Northampton County, Reading Area, and Westmoreland Area have made their semester rates the cost of 15 credits at the per-credit cost. Accordingly, the GSP Credit Semester Rate is equal to the cost of 15 GSP Credits. This means that the equivalent of 15 GSP Credits are needed for a beneficiary who takes between 12 and 18 academic credits using a GSP account at any of these schools.


19 This Tuition Level was added effective September 1, 2012 and comprises the School of Media and Communications and the Division of Theater, Film and Media Arts. For contributions made before September 1, 2012, retroactive conversion to this new Tuition Level is available only for beneficiaries actually enrolled in the academic program associated with this Tuition Level.

20 This Tuition Level was added effective September 1, 2013. For contributions made before September 1, 2013, retroactive conversion to this new Tuition Level is available only for beneficiaries actually enrolled in the academic program associated with this new Tuition Level. This Tuition Level pertains to the Standard Tuition Level at Shenango Campus. For Upper Division, Categories 1, 2, and 3, please see Tuition Level Codes 12051, 12057, and 12202.

21 The GSP Credit Rates for non-resident and international tuition at the Center City Campus are the same rates as non-resident and international tuition at the main campus of the school being attended (Cheyney, East Stroudsburg, Millersville, West Chester); and, at the time of use, will be paid out at the main campus actual tuition rate.

22 Contributions and payments made at this Tuition Level will be calculated using the current Freshman rate. Payments at this Tuition Level are available only to those Beneficiaries who are enrolled at Mansfield University.
