2014-15 Fees

The challenge for credit process allows students to demonstrate that they have acquired a command of the general subject matter, knowledge, intellectual and/or other skills that would be found in an undergraduate course for which they are seeking credit.

Before you consider registering in a challenge course, it is important that you read the Challenge for Credit section.

Challenge for credit fees are non-refundable.

The following are tuition fees only. Alumni and Students' Union fees are not charged for the challenge for credit progress. Students may purchase the required print learning resources, limited to bound textbooks and print readings as follows:

1. by contacting AU’s Materials Management Unit via email at cmat@athabascau.ca. All materials will be charged at full cost (defined as AU’s full purchase cost, plus shipping, plus a 20 per cent handling fee) or;
2. by accessing the list of materials from the course syllabus and sourcing the materials via a book store, online book retailer, or other means.

Note:  Students will not be provided access to the online individualized study course site, the student manual, eTextbooks, or course study guide in a Challenge for Credit registration. If an eTextbook is offered for the course, it must be purchased from the publisher or a third-party vendor.
