Intensive English Program Fees

Intensive English Program students pay a basic program fee rate of $1,820 per 8-week session, plus additional GGC fees for full-time study, which currently include the mandatory Student Center fee of $30 per 8-week session, the health and wellness fee of $17.50 per 8-week session, and the new student ID fee of $10, and the one-time application fee of $30 for new ELI students. 

You will be responsible for purchasing your own books and materials for classes. ELI participants who have not paid in full by the first day of class will not be permitted to attend class until the program fee has been paid. ELI participants may be dropped from the program if fees are not paid by the end of the first week of class. In such cases, a reinstatement process must be completed in order to stay in ELI classes. If you are paying by wire transfer, please allow at least 10 days for the transaction to be processed.

ELI participants with F-1 visas are required to register for the full-time Intensive English Program. Please review the estimated cost of attendance for an international ELI participant studying at the English Language Institute for one session.
