The IELP EdD is designed for working professionals and is self-funded. There is presently no funding available. The tuition/student fees are annual. The study length will determine how much the student will pay: if the student graduate in 3 years, the full tuition cost will be 3 years. For example, if the student finishes in 4 years – 4 years of tuition will have to be paid. Academic fees for IELP doctoral students in the final year of their program are pro-rated based on the 12-month academic year plus sessional incidentals. Submission of the defended, corrected thesis represents completion of student’s degree requirements and is therefore the factor that determines how the final tuition fee charges are calculated. When a final, corrected thesis is submitted, fees and service charges are adjusted accordingly, usually within four weeks.
