Discounts

  • 50% tuition discount to WMU students and community senior citizens (55 and above) 
  • $25/course for WMU employees 
  • For courses requesting a "Material fee" apart from the tuition cost, all participants must pay this fee in full. 

For example, if you are a WMU employee, and you want to take the Chinese Painting class that has a material fee of $30, the total amount you need to pay is $25 + $30 (material fee) = $55.  If you are a WMU student or community senior citizen, and you want to take the Chinese Painting class, the total amount you need to pay is $60 (50% discount ) + $30 (Material fee) = $90.
