Program Q&A:

1. How much does it cost?
     $280 per semester.

2. What do I get for my tuition?
      Members can audit (no credit) one university course, and as many FILL classes (no credit) as you like. You will also have full access to campus, our facilities, and all events. 

3. What's the difference between university and FILL courses?
     University courses are taught by FDU professors with undergraduate students. These courses follow a syllabus through a 15-week semester. FILL members don't have to do assignments, but are encouraged to participate in discussion and complete assigned readings. These classes generally meet twice a week (75 minutes each) or once a week for 2 1/2 hours.

     FILL courses are taught by other members of the program and include fiction reading, poetry, opera, history, current events, statistics, and many more. These are  informal, discussion-based classes that foster community and sharing ideas and creativity. They vary in session length from single sessions to 14 weeks, and usually meet once per week for about 75 minutes. 

4. Is there a per class rate?
     No. Unfortunately, we aren't set up to offer a la carte payment. We encourage members to take multiple classes to get the best experience from our program.

5. How Do I Pay Online?
Payments can be made online through this tutorial.
