1) What is the technology fee?
The technology fee of $30 per course covers maintenance and expansion of technology services and support. It is assessed for all on-ground and online courses. The fee is nonrefundable and nontransferable.

  • Cohort students: After the program begins, the technology fee payment dates correspond to program, chosen payment option, or the program course calendar issued the first night of class. Fees for students enrolled in the Master of Arts in Education and Master of Science in School Leadership cohort programs are determined by start date.
  • Open enrollment students: The technology fee will be added to the account on enrollment and is due along with tuition according to the payment dates listed in the Overland Park course schedule or Wichita course schedule. This information also appears on the registration form.
