Are there additional expenses beyond tuition?
A. The tuition covers all instruction, Westlawn texts, testing, grading, consultation and administration, from the day of enrollment to award of the professional diploma or certificate of completion. In addition, the student pays for drafting equipment and CAD software, tools, accessories and supplies, and specified additional required reference texts, plus postage costs for lessons mailed to the school. The school pays postage for all lessons returned to you. Drafting materials will cost about four hundred dollars for the Yacht & Boat Design program, and about two hundred dollars for the Elements course. See also the sheets itemizing estimated costs for CAD software and additional required reference texts in the Westlawn catalog. Computers, software, and printers are not included as course material. Students are responsible for acquiring them, and should call Westlawn beforehand to determine what should be purchased.
