Fees

Fees vary with the method of assessment chosen and are based on the assessment process and the number of credits awarded. Assessment of an individual course is not more than the tuition fee.

Fees are non-refundable.

Open Learning Portfolio-Based Assessment

• Competency-based Portfolio:

  $750 flat fee

• Course-based Portfolio:

  $520 (initial) flat fee + $36 per credit awarded (after assessment completion)
  

  For example:
  A student wants to challenge two courses (6 credits)
  They pay $520 (initial flat fee) to begin the process
  Upon successful completion of each challenge (done one at a time), they pay the fee of $36 per credit awarded. In this case, they would pay $36x6 credits = $216.
  The total fee would be $520 + $216 = $736 for 6 credits

• Competency-based and Course-based Portfolios:

  $750 flat fee (Competency-based) + $36 per credit awarded (Course-based)
  The $520 flat fee is waived for Course-based Portfolio creation when students have already completed the Competency-based Portfolio

Challenge Exam

$100 per credit (typically $300)
