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.

The Extension Fee applies when the student must remain enrolled to continue work toward completion but does not earn additional academic credits during the additional term. It is separate from tuition and covers continued academic supervision, advising, administrative support, and access to University resources. The Extension Fee for each additional term equals the tuition that would otherwise have been charged for a standard term under the rate in effect when the student originally entered the program, before any Tuition Relief, scholarship, or other discount, unless the University expressly approves a reduced fee in writing.

Program Format

The Graduate Diploma in TESOL is completed 100% online, with no residential attendance required. Students select six of Anaheim University’s MA in TESOL courses (24 units), each nine weeks long, and study under the direction of AU’s TESOL faculty by webcam in real time. The program takes approximately 60 weeks to complete, with a maximum of 2.5 years from the date of matriculation.

Research Reserve Fund

Anaheim University provides access to library resources and services for all students enrolled directly through the University. Students in online graduate programs may also be required to hold an additional reserve fund for the purchase of journals, research materials, software and other resources specific to their areas of study. Students are not required to spend the entire fund — only the amount necessary to carry out their research. The above itemizes all of the fees and charges for which the student is responsible; the refund policy is set out in the section on Policies & Procedures.

Textbooks

A student can plan on approximately $300 in textbook purchases during the program. 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.

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).
