- As a program participant, you are eligible for free in-state tuition and an allowance for
books or other fees related to courses completed (not to exceed $80/year per student) to complete
your ESOL endorsement.
- Assume the modest costs for each semester’s transportation access/parking decal
(fall and Spring- $60; summer A, B or C - $25) and a one-time student ID fee ($10) which
must be paid by the posted deadline to avoid any late fees. The student ID fee must be
paid even if you don’t intend to get the FAU ID card. The program cannot be responsible
for paying these fees and/or any parking-or ID-related late fees imposed on program participants.
- Effective Fall 2008, FAU will impose a one-time $30 fee on students applying for non-degree
enrollment in addition to the transportation access and ID fees listed above. The program cannot
be responsible for paying these fees and/or any parking-or ID-related late fees imposed on program
participants.
- Former degree-seeking or FAU graduates are not subject to an application fee. If last
enrollment was more than 7 years ago, you must submit a new admissions application with the
appropriate documents along with a new application fee.
