Description of Fees
Application Fee – A one time non-refundable application fee is required with application for enrollment into any course taken on campus.

The administrative fee covers orientation week costs, recreation fees, equipment, class photo, graduation fee, etc. The fee is $180.00. If attending individual courses, the administrative fee is calculated for each course.
Room – CMI offers private rooms for all single students and apartments at affordable costs for married couples with children. Apartments range in size from 2-3 bedrooms with cooking facilities. Your living accommodations will be ready and waiting for you. There is no extra charge for children living in apartments. Priority use of apartments is given to those attending the full twelve week program.
