Tuition fees for CD-ED include:
University courses are not the same as a career-based training institution such as CD-ED. Universities prepare you for academia and theory, taking years to complete, while CD-ED prepares you for practical real-world job experience in months, not years. Keep in mind that many of our programs are simply not available at a traditional university.
However, we've done our best to demonstrate the monetary benefits of an online education with CD-ED. For instance:
NOTE: OU courses were chosen to build a course comparable to our Business Accounting diploma program at $10,075 USD, or £6,235. Courses comparable to our digital arts programs are simply not available at OU.
Compare that to our average tuition of only $10,464 for your entire education.
Finally, there are no hidden fees at CD-ED. The tuition price you see is the tuition price you pay, unlike universities which have hidden costs such as books, transportation, and registration fees.
Sometimes, exemptions and discounts are also possible. Talk to your admissions rep!
If you're concerned about the tuition fees, remember that financial assistance is available.
All tuition prices are in US dollars.
Course fees vary per program and can be found in the table below or on the student enrollment agreement. Students may pay fees by cash, check, or money order. Check and money orders should be made payable to The Centre for Distance Education. Postdated checks are not accepted for tuition costs. Private bank financing may be available; call us or email our financial department for details: 1.866.729.2299

If you withdraw during the early part of a full-time program, you may be eligible for a refund of a portion of your tuition based on the Enrollment Agreement under Refund Portion.
Should a student’s enrollment be terminated or cancelled for any reason, all refunds will be made according to the following refund schedule:
NOTE: This applies only if Centre for Distance Education receives a written notice of withdrawal from the student before the times indicated in the agreement.
No refund shall be issued until all equipment, software, and learning materials are returned at the student’s expense, in their original packaging, and received by the Centre for Distance Education. The equipment and materials must be in reasonable condition. Service charges for the use of the hardware, software, and learning materials or for replacement of damaged equipment may be applied.
