Tuition and Fees

Tuition

Tuition for the four-week program is $6,000 (U.S.) for the first registrant and, to encourage team attendance, $5,700 (U.S.) for each additional participant from the same organization. Tuition includes the cost of instruction and extensive course materials. It does not include living or travel expenses. Tuition is payable by April 15, 2009. (If tuition is received after this date, some course materials may not be available when the course begins.) Payment must be made via bank draft (check) or wire transfer. No credit card payments are accepted. No scholarships or fellowships are offered. However, since the program's sponsoring institution is a U.S. tax-exempt organization, the program can be the recipient of gifts to cover participant's attendance and fees.

Cancellation

Tuition, less a $100 handling charge for each registration, will be refunded upon written cancellation.

Room and Board

Accommodations will be at the Radisson Hotel in Richardson, Texas, for April 26-May 22, 2009. The hotel is convenient to shopping, restaurants, banking and sports facilities. Single occupancy room rate is $83 per day, plus tax (currently 13% and is subject to change). These rates apply to a four-week stay (duration of the program). Higher rates apply for stays of less than four weeks.

Meals

Participants receive a free buffet breakfast at the hotel (coupons will be given to participants upon check-in). Lunch is available at the UT Dallas cafeteria on campus and costs $5 - $7 (U.S.). Many local restaurants offer a variety of options for dinner, from traditional American grill to Texas barbecue to French, Italian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Dinner costs range from about $8 to $25.

Materials Shipment

Registrants are advised to include a sum in their budgets for shipping course materials home. The materials may weigh up to 40 kilos and the cost of shipment by air usually runs $200 to $300. Shipping costs depend on distance and carrier.
