Tuition

Tuition is indicated with each course description and varies depending on course length and class size.

Tuition may be paid by credit card, check, cashier's check or money order, or STAP funds (for those eligible). We can not accept cash payments in our office.

Registration Fees

A non-refundable registration fee of $35 is required for each student once per quarter if the total amount of your tuition and fees for that quarter exceeds $100.

Tuition Assistance

Each student qualifies for only one discount. Discounts do not apply to courses with tuition under $100 or to special events. Discounts apply only to tuition, not to registration or course fees.

• Stanford University Employees: Employees who work 50% time or more and receive STAP funds may apply up to the full amount of their yearly STAP fund allocation ($800) toward Continuing Studies tuition and registration fees.
