Frequently Asked Questions

After you submit your application, an admissions coach will walk you through the steps you need to get started, including the documents you'll need to submit. You can register for courses after you have been admitted to the university and your program. If you're a graduate student, you may register for your first course after proof of a conferred bachelor's degree is received.  Selective programs may require additional documentation before registration is permitted.

As an undergraduate student with previous academic credits, you’ll need to provide a previous college transcript and submit a transfer credit evaluation (TCE) application. The TCE takes 2-3 weeks to complete after we receive all of your documents. The TCE form is found in the student ecampus under the Academic Plan & Forms menu. For more information, visit our transfer credit website.

The total cost per program is based on completing all the credits required for the program, minus any credits you transfer. View your program of interest to see how many credit hours are required. View all tuition and fees.

As an accredited university, we are able to accept many forms of financing from public and private sources, including military tuition assistance (TA) and federal student aid (FSA).

Most courses start monthly on the first Monday of every month. You can register for a course as early as 5 months and up to one week before the course starts. However, if you are using federal student aid (FSA), you must declare an FSA academic year start date at least 10 days prior to registering for the first semester of each academic year.

For courses in 8-week sessions:  plan on 15-18 hours for undergraduate courses and 18-22 hours for graduate courses. For 16-week sessions: plan on 9-10 hours for undergraduate courses and 10-15 hours for graduate courses.
