Haha! Made you look... you can get it tuition free, but there are semester fees...
They have a PhD and a Masters program, but the bulk are Bachelor degrees.
From the looks of things, they're doing the same thing UofPeople are doing.

Here is their webpage: REMOVED
Here is the scholarships page: REMOVED
Their fees are per semester, it's not a per course fee and they go by a pay scale.

Side note: They have a Dual Enrolment option for High School students too!

The branding is inconsistent. It may be "International" or "Islamic" Open University. It also looks like you must find a Muslim to be your proctor. This could be difficult if you are of a different faith.

In the other forum, it was pointed out that the founder may be an extremist/have ties to terrorists (he's banned from various countries). Links have been removed here to be safe.

I would simply question whether a degree from this organization has any real value. I have no confidence that their accreditation has any weight outside of it's own location/country.
