Additional Costs

• Part-time students may have to purchase an NC State ID card for $20 in order to have access to the IEP building.
• Students spend approximately $50-$150 per course on textbooks each semester.

Notes

• Payment for the chosen course(s) is due the Friday before classes begin for the semester.
• Part-time students take a diagnostic test to make sure the IEP at NC State will benefit their current English proficiency.
• As long as they do not intend to apply for acceptance to a degree program at NC State, part-time students can enroll in as many classes as they choose each semester.
• Spring and fall semesters are approximately 15 weeks; the summer semester is usually 10 weeks. Level 4 is typically not offered during the summer.
• Refunds are issued following the IEP’s posted policy. A $10 administrative fee will be applied for every class withdrawal processed.
• Because IEP part-time students do not pay university fees, they are not eligible to use university resources such as the recreational center/gym or printing services.  Additionally, they may not borrow materials from the library.
• Financial aid cannot be used for the Intensive English Program because it is a non-credit program.
