Program Cost & Additional Enrollment
The estimated total program cost shown above assumes successful completion of all required courses on the first attempt and completion of all program requirements within the standard program schedule. Students who repeat a credit-bearing course will be required to pay additional tuition. Students who require enrollment beyond the standard program schedule will be required to pay an Extension Fee and records fee for each additional term of enrollment. An extension may be granted by the Dean to students requiring more time to complete the program.
Program Format
The Graduate Certificate in TESOL is completed 100% online, with no residential attendance required. Students complete two of Anaheim University’s MA in TESOL courses (8 units), each nine weeks long, and study under the direction of AU’s TESOL faculty by webcam in real time. The program takes approximately 20 weeks to complete, with a maximum of 2.5 years from the date of matriculation.
Textbooks
Books and materials are extra and are expected to average approximately $200 per course. A textbook list is available in the online resources of the student website. Real-time classes do not require specific materials beyond what is already supplied for the course.
Continuing to the MA or Graduate Diploma
Graduates of Anaheim University’s TESOL Certificate program who continue into the Online MA in TESOL or Online Graduate Diploma in TESOL may be waived the tuition fee for two units of credit. Students must complete the TESOL Certificate with a grade of B or higher, meet all entrance requirements for the MA or Graduate Diploma in TESOL, and be accepted into that program.
Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF)
The Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) is administered by the California BPPE and applies only to California residents. The STRF fee is currently zero ($0) per one thousand dollars ($1,000) of institutional charges. The State of California established the STRF to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution who is or was a California resident while enrolled, if the student enrolled, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state-imposed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition. You are not eligible for protection from the STRF, and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if you are not a California resident or are not enrolled in a residency program.
Payment Terms
Each course is US$2,000.00 for tuition, excluding books, materials and other costs. Students must pay the required tuition fee prior to commencing their next course; the fee is not due until the student wishes to register for the next course. Tuition may be paid course by course by check, credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover), money order or bank transfer (the student is responsible for any transaction fees imposed by the institution).
