Prep Program Costs

The SLP Preparation Program offers a Cohort-based program. Once accepted as a SLP Prep Cohort member, students receive priority enrollment for each semester and are eligible for financial aid. Non-Cohort students are not eligible for financial aid. For the Spring 2021 SLP Prep Cohort application, there is a mandatory $55 Program application fee which includes the costs of applying through Extended Learning and the University.

Students will enroll in each course once registration is available.

Effective Fall 2020: The cost for each course is $349 per unit plus mandatory semester fees identified below.
