Fees and Financing
The Early Childhood Development certificate program consists of 8 courses, for a total tuition of $7,680. Participants must pay per term, and there are two courses offered each term. This means that participants must enroll in and pay for two courses at a time. The following payment options are available to students:
Pay Per Term
Students may register and pay for courses using the Register for Courses button in the Student Center. This form allows students to select which term they would like to enroll in, and pay for those courses in total prior to classes starting. Tuition each term is $1,920. This registration form only allows students to select the term(s) that are available for enrollment.
Installment Payment Plan
Students may request an Installment Payment Plan (IPP) to pay tuition in three (3) installments during the term. Tuition each term with an IPP is $1,953. The first payment is half the cost of tuition for the term, plus a $33 administrative fee. The remaining cost of tuition for the term is split into two (2) equal payments. Payment deadlines are based on the length of the term. Please refer to the chart below for how payment deadlines are assigned to Summer courses versus courses during Fall or Spring terms.
| Installment Payments | Amount Due | Summer Term Payment Deadlines | Fall/Spring Term Payment Deadlines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payment 1 | $993 | term registration deadline | term registration deadline |
| Payment 2 | $480 | 2 weeks (14 days) after term begins | 30 days after term begins |
