Fees

Fees 

The fees are composed of several components: the CAWA Affiliation Fee, Carine Registration Fee, and Term Fees (class fees for Masters). The CAWA Affiliation Fee and Membership fee are annual payments, while the Term Fees are payable at the start of each term. Class fees for Masters are paid per class attended. The breakdown below details the fees based on the class.  The 2025 Fee Payment Policy is also available for download below.

Note: Term fees are structured based on the term as a whole, not the number of classes offered.
