Tuition/Costs and Financial Aid
ONLINE:
As a national distance-learning program, a differential tuition fee has been established. This means all ASLEI students pay the same tuition whether they live across the street or across the country. This fee is reviewed annually by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. For the 2013-2014 academic year, the tuition is:
- $360 per credit hour (in-state or out-of-state students). For planning purposes, tuition costs are projected to increase by 9% annually for the next few years.
- Instructional materials will vary by course, but will average approximately $150 per course over the life of the program.
- Summer expenses are in addition to the tuition and course required materials. Summer expenses include travel, room and board and any other personal costs. There are certain advantages to being with classmates and working together toward a common goal. Summer students are offered the opportunity to stay on-campus in the UNC Residence Halls with 2-bedroom shared suites (private bedroom, shared bath, living area and communal kitchen area) The approximate cost of for staying in the Residence Hall is approximately $35.00 per person/per night. Students may choose not to stay on campus, but are on their own to secure living arrangements for the month.
