usually, from Sep-April is considered to be one year, so if it say;s that amount, means you are paying for two semesters. However, all the tuition can be paid by semester, so you can pay half of it for semptember and the other half later on in Winter. If you are undergrad, you don;t take courses during May-Aug, you don;t have to pay anything. If you are internationa students, the tuition is 3x regular student.
