Tuition is structured according to the number of credits you register for each quarter, allowing you to pay as you go, rather than invest in the entire year's tuition upfront.

Students have an entire preview week prior to the start of class to explore the course plus the entire first official week to decide if the class is for them. With digital textbooks embedded in each class at no charge, that's two full weeks of class for $0!

Each course concludes with a proctored examination. Students can elect convenient online proctoring through ProctorU for a fee of $22.50 per exam or locate an approved third-party proctor.
