Is UoPeople completely free? Are there any costs?
While we have removed most of the costs associated with attending a university, we do still have some fees to help us keep UoPeople running, and take care of all the admin and processing work we have to do for all of our students.
To cover these fees we ask for:
A one time non-refundable application fee of $60 and,
For undergraduates: an assessment fee of $100 per course, or
For graduates: an assessment fee of $200 per course
Don’t worry, if you need to time to save the money and you want to start right now you can, as the fees don’t need to be paid until the end of each course. The assessment fees do not need to be paid until the end of each course which is very convenient for students who have to budget and save up. You can also apply for one of our numerous grants and scholarships to help you cover all the fees.
Please note the application fee does not include any additional fees that may be required for third-party evaluation.
After all courses we estimate the total fees for the:
Associate Degree are $2,060
Bachelor’s Degree are$4,060
MBA is $2,460
M.Ed. is $2,660
What are the costs for Transfer credits?
If you have credits approved to transfer toward your degree, the cost per transfer course will be $17. This is instead of paying the assessment fee per course of $100 for undergraduates and $200 for graduates. Transferring credits may significantly reduce the total cost of your degree.
What Grants & Scholarships are available?
UoPeople works with top corporations and organizations to provide grants and scholarships to students needing financial support when paying the required application fees. Students can apply each term for the scholarship for which they are most qualified, and once awarded it can last for a full year of study. It is UoPeople’s aim that financial need will not restrict students from studying.
How can I pay the application fees?
Payments can be made through Western Union, Western Union Global Pay, Paypal, Cashier’s Checks and Payment via MoneyGram. PayPal payments can be with your personal PayPal account or by using major credit card or debit card – VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express.
