Full-time: year (15,000 USD) or quarterly payment plan (3,750 USD)

Tuition is fixed for the duration of student tenure.
First tuition payment is due, along with your registration forms, on the date indicated in your acceptance letter.
Tuition is due at the start of every year you are enrolled. You will be retroactively reimbursed for additional years beyond the third year if you complete your studies mid-year, by quarter.
Payment Plans
Payment plans require a Wise Transfer account.
The Institute does not charge interest or fees; however, Wise will charge currency exchange and transfer fees (significantly less than traditional bank fees).
Students with payment plans continue with plans for four consecutive payments even if they take a leave of absence during the year or leave the course. Students requesting a leave of absence between years can initiate a new annual payment or quarterly plan when they return.
Annual Payments
For students with non-USD accounts, a Wise account is recommended. Wise will charge currency exchange and transfer fees significantly lower than traditional banks.
Tuition Refund
One hundred percent of a course's tuition charge is reversed (minus bank fees) with a withdrawal form submitted no later than July 1st, and 75 percent will be reversed if the form is submitted before the start date, September 1st. Tuition commitment deposits are not refundable without a withdrawal form here and medical or other related documentation. Note that course refunds will be issued by October 1st.
