Classes are scheduled Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday classes will start at 8:30 a.m. and end at 1:00 p.m. Registration and class schedules for all courses are as follows:

Tuition
The cost of each course is $1425.  The tuition includes payment for course materials. Textbooks, which may be required for some courses, are not included in the tuition. If your course requires you to purchase a textbook, you will be notified in writing. The course tuition is the same whether you audit the course or take it for graduate education credit. You must decide whether you will take the course for audit by noon on Friday, July 17. You must notify the director of the program in writing if you decide to take the audit option.  For the AUDIT option, a form will be distributed during the program for you to make your request in writing.

If you take a course for credit, you will be required to complete the project due after the end of class on July 24th. This project must be submitted to the course instructor by August 15th via email and/or surface mail. The course instructors will be giving directions to students in class during the week of the program. In this instance, a letter grade (i.e. “A,” “B,” “C,” etc) will be assigned.

If you take a course for audit, you are not required to complete the final project for the course. In this instance, a grade of “X” will be recorded on your transcript to verify that you have attended the class.
