What are SIRLS’ program fees?
— SIRLS was told in January 2003 to become more financially self-sustaining. SIRLS submitted a new business plan that included a program fee proposal. The reality is that program fees must be collected for SIRLS to survive. Not only must we impose the program fee but it must be large enough to bring substantial revenues into the school. The increased revenue provided by the program fees will be used to hire faculty, increase financial aid, and begin to institutionalize Knowledge River, update technology in the school, and improve student services. The overall outcome will be to strengthen the quality of the SIRLS program and your education.How much are the Program Fees? — As of Fall 2007, $500 per course for in-state. $1200 per course for out-of-state.
