PSYCAS is a centralized application service supported by the American Psychological Association (APA) and Liaison International. Instructions on how to use PSYCAS and how your admissions documents will be uploaded and delivered to PSYCAS for processing can be found in the application: https://psycas.liaisoncas.com/. As a result, Argosy University will no longer charge an application fee. Students should create an account for free on the PYSCAS web site https://psycas.liaisoncas.com/. Creating an account is free; however there is a $50 fee to PSYCAS for the first application. If a student is applying to other programs utilizing PSYCAS for the admissions process, an additional $35 fee is charged for each additional application.

Please visit our Student Consumer Information page to find the average time to completion for continuously enrolled students for each credential level offered. This data is available at the average credit load, full-time or at full load. Changing programs, beginning programs at the mid-term start date, taking remedial courses, taking time off from coursework, registering for fewer hours or unsuccessful attempts at course completion will increase the total length of the program and overall cost of education from what is disclosed. Transfer credits awarded toward your program will likely decrease the overall length and cost of education.

Tiered Tuition Structure- Effective semesters on/after 8/23/2018

Students who persist and successfully earn academic credits in their educational programs* are eligible for a reduced tuition structure that decreases the students’ actual tuition. 

Associate’s-level programs

Based on the length of the associate degree program, students will receive a tuition reduction by 10% to 15%^†.  Students may qualify as long as they remain enrolled and participate in an eligible program of study, making them eligible for the reduced tuition within the program.  Program lengths vary in the number of credits required. This reduction will occur once the following thresholds are reached:

• Students who complete greater than 30 credits will receive a 10% tuition reduction^†
• Students who complete greater than 60 credits will receive a 15% tuition reduction^†

Bachelor Level degree programs:

Students who persist and successfully earn academic credits in their educational programs* are eligible for a tiered tuition structure that decreases the students’ actual tuition cost, ranging from 10%-20%^†. Students may qualify as long as they remain enrolled and participate in an eligible program of study, making them eligible for the tiered tuition at different thresholds within the program.  This reduction automatically occurs as students reach the following thresholds: 

• Students who successfully earn greater than 25% of the credits in their program will receive a 10% tuition reduction^†
• Students who successfully earn greater than 50% of the credits in their program will receive a 15% tuition reduction^†.
• Students who successfully earn greater than 75% of the credits in their program will receive a 20% tuition reduction^†.

Program lengths vary in the number of credits required; the tuition credit occurs once credits earned surpass the percentages above

Reductions in tuition are applied at the beginning of each term (semester). If the percentage of earned credit above is reached after the term starts, the reduction will occur at the start of the next term.  All reductions’ calculations are based on the original cost per credit hour.

For the purpose of eligibility for reduced tuition, transfer of credits that are accepted by the institution into a student’s specific program of study will qualify towards credits that are successfully earned. If transfer of credit is received after a term begins, the reduction will occur at the start of the next term.

* Graduate programs offered through Argosy University, Online Programs are not eligible for tiered tuition.

^†  Students utilizing partnership agreements or enrolling as a Continual Transfer Waiver will not be eligible for the reduced tuition.  The students will receive the tuition reduction as outlined in the partnership agreement or transfer waiver.
