Course Fees

Explanation of Fees

The Application Fee is due before your file may be
processed. This fee is non-refundable after three
days, and is not credited to tuition.

A Reservation Deposit of $225.00 is due upon
acceptance. This holds your place in the event the
program fills. The deposit is credited to tuition. It is
refundable if written notification of withdrawal is
made to the Course Director 10 business days
before the beginning of the course.

Should you choose a payment plan, the initial
payment and signed enrollment agreement must be
received before classes begin.

Professional Fees are due before the program
begins. These go to AMS and MACTE as part of your
registration. This fee is includes intern membership
in AMS. This fee is nonrefundable after the first day
of the course. Current membership in AMS does not
exempt you from this fee.

The Materials Fee is due before the program begins.
This fee is billed separately. The ownership of
teacher-made materials is a matter we urge you to
clarify before entering any agreements with
practicum sites. In general, if a student pays the
materials fee materials belong to the student and if
a sponsoring school pays the fee they belong to the
school. Additional materials sets are available to
client schools.

The term "materials" as it is used here means
teaching handbooks, a selection of paper masters
and a selection of full-color curriculum materials.
These materials are required in order to meet
course assignments. A core set of materials is
supplied. These satisfy course requirements. You
should expect to prepare a substantial number of
materials in excess of course material-making
requirements in order to prepare your classroom
adequately. Materials are not returnable,
discountable, or available in partial sets and the
materials fee is nonrefundable after materials have
been used.

Sponsoring schools are entitled to buy additional
sets of materials at this rate.
