Fees and Financial Disclosures

ÎÞÂëרÇø is committed to transparency about the costs associated with online and distance education.

The University does not assess additional charges for identity verification. The identity credential used by the University includes an assigned eight-digit identification number (ÎÞÂëרÇøID) combined with each student's unique password. The cost of setting up and administering the ÎÞÂëרÇøID/Password system is recovered through general tuition and fees. The University does not assess additional charges for students enrolled in distance education courses to use the ÎÞÂëרÇøID/Password system.
