UK FEES   
________________________________________________________________________ 
 
 
Fees for UK students are quoted in dollars except for practical training which is quoted in pounds.  Conversions are done automatically through PayPal. 
 
Enrolled Students may pay for classes and practicums individually as they progress, or may receive a discount for paying for the full term in advance.  You must successfully complete all prerequisites before taking any class or practicum.   
 
Please note that while your graduation requirements will not change once you are enrolled, the fees due for any class, workshop or practicum will be the current fees as posted on this page.  As an example, if you enroll in 2007, but do not sign up for your third term classes until 2009, fees may have changed.  
 
Students may also challenge (ACE - Academy Course Exemption) any course by taking the exam without taking the class.  For individuals not enrolled in the Academy, you may audit any class as a stand alone course.  Fees for ACE exams and audits are listed below.  
 
We accept checks or credit cards through PayPal.    
 
We are continuing our Equinomic Stimulus Package through 2010.  
This gives students a 20% discount on all fees below except the Application Fee.
