HOW WE KEEP QUALITY HIGH AND COSTS LOW

Introduction

The value of an education at IARSAC International University (IIU) can be assessed in various ways. Whether students seek increased professional value, greater earning potential, or personal satisfaction from achieving academic goals, they will not be disappointed with an IIU education. When comparing quality and cost, IIU stands out as an excellent option. IIU’s tuition is competitively priced, making quality education affordable and attainable for the average person.

Investing in education is one of the most significant decisions a student can make. At IIU, students can obtain their higher education degree, translating into higher earning potential, without incurring the high tuition costs associated with traditional universities.

Tuition is billed at the time students register for course(s) for each term. IIU reserves the right to change tuition rates. Below are the current tuition rates. The total cost of attendance may vary depending on how many credits are transferred into the program at IIU and other factors that may apply.

Per Registration

Unless otherwise noted, these fees are payable directly to IARSAC International University, may be paid using financial aid funds, and can be incorporated into the student’s monthly payment plan. Refer to the Tuition and Fee finder for program- and course-specific fees. Course-specific fees, where noted, are applicable to both traditional and module course versions of the course indicated.

Please note that fees paid to IARSAC International University (IIU) are neither refundable nor transferable to another student under any circumstances. If a student pays the semester fees without enrolling in a course, the fee payment will be transferred to the next semester for the same student. Advanced payment of semester fees can be utilized to pay for other services such as ‘Late Course Drop Fine’ or ‘Grade Transfer Fee’, if a student so wishes.

10. Early Bird Discount

New students who register before the 1st of March or before the 1st of September for the Spring and Fall semesters respectively, will not only get early access to the study material before the semester begins, but also a 10% discount on their first semester fees.

11. Installment Plan

IIU offers a payment plan for students who are unable to pay the full semester fees at once. Under this plan, 50% of the fee is paid at the beginning of the semester and the remaining 50% before the midterm exams.

To avail this option, submit your application after your admission is confirmed. New students may also benefit from the early bird discount if the second installment is paid before the discount deadline.

12. Credit Transfer Fee

Students may apply for a credit transfer if they have successfully completed courses at another accredited university or college and those courses align with the IIU program they would like to join. They may request credit transfers for a maximum of 50% of the courses or credits in the IIU program they are applying for. Supporting documents (e.g. university transcripts) are required to be provided to the Registrar’s Office for credit transfer approval. Kindly note that a credit transfer differs from a course waiver; while a credit transfer recognizes a course as already completed, a course waiver requires the student to take a substitute course in place of the one that was waived.
