Hello everyone,
Yesterday I contacted at Pierpont to accertain whether international students are admissible to the BOG program (good news we are) and to ask about the various fees and costs for the degree. She replied to me and I quote:
"Beginning Fall 2024 there is a $350 fee for transcript review. This is the only associated fee."
Does anyone have more information?

I have no insight but that seems completely reasonable to me.

I agree that it is completely reasonable (less than the price some universities charge for a single credit) but I would like to know whether the $350 fee includes the $130 new student fee that is mentioned in the wiki.

I honestly do not understand why International students are admissible to the program unless it is to increase enrollment numbers.

You are probably correct. Taking into consideration the new transcript review fee it seems like they found a new avenue for funding.

From reading the info Nancy sent earlier, I think they're making... "This is the only associated fee."
That means, for BOG students, the only fee would be $350. To make sure, you may want to reply back to Nancy to confirm.
Report back as the $130 New Student Fee is for everyone who applies to Pierpont, not just the BOG applicants.

I hope it's $350 for all transcripts and not $350 per transcript, as Excelsior can be.

I just received a reply from Nancy at Perpont. It appears that the $350 fee includes the previous $130 new student fee.

Still the cheapest Associate degree around. Just not as cheap as it used to be.

Since there is pretty much 100% graduation rate among enrolled BOG students, it creates some sweet stats. High success rate and high number of graduates.
