Tuition & Financing

Yes, you can change your mind up until the start of class. If you choose to finance tuition, you can't change your mind once class begins, but you can prepay with no penalty. We always do our best to work with students, so feel free to reach out with any questions surrounding tuition or payments.

A pro-rated refund will be given up until the 50% point in class.

Financing: If you withdraw within the refund period, and you financed tuition, we'll pro-rate your refund and lower the balance of your loan accordingly. You'll still be responsible for making the associated payments for your remaining balance.

Ascent and Climb are our lending partners, but students are free to use any local bank or specialty lender like LendingTree, LendingClub, Upstart, SoFi, etc. Here is a list of 10 alternatives

If financing through Climb Credit, you'll need to apply and accept the terms of your loan to reserve your seat in class. If paying up front, tuition is typically due 2 weeks prior to the start of class. If you use a lender other than than our partner(s), tuition is due as if you're paying up front.

We accept bank transfer (preferred), credit cards, and checks (any bounced checks will incurr a fee).

The $99 deposit reserves your seat in class and is fully refundable if you decide not to join us prior to class starting.

Scholarships can be combined with any other grants and tuition incentives; however, scholarships cannot be combined with other scholarships. Students may qualify for up to one scholarship, one alumni grant, and one enrollment incentive. The only exception is the Educational Partner Grant which cannot be combined with any other scholarship, grant, or offer.

Employers often send employees through our training programs, and in many cases we are able to provide corporate pricing that fits within your teams' budget. Please reach out to sales@digitalcrafts.com with all corporate inquiries.

DigitalCrafts is not able to accept any VA benefits (including GI BIll, VET TEC, and VRRAP) or WIOA funding at this time.

While DigitalCrafts, a part of the AIU System, is part of a Title IV eligible institution offering Title IV eligible programs, DigitalCrafts has elected and designated some of its programs as not participating in Title IV federal financial aid programs. If a program is designated in this manner, it will be noted in its catalog description. This means students enrolling in these designated programs may not use Federal Student Aid to help pay for them. Instead, it offers a variety of zero interest payment options for students.

Private Education Loans

Private education loans are credit-based consumer loans that can be used to pay any post-secondary education-related expenses, including tuition and fees, books, and transportation. Always consider your lowest-cost options first, including grants, scholarships, and all student loan eligibility. Eligibility for private loans is based on credit-worthiness and ability to repay, not on financial need.

We do not recommend or endorse any lender, and are providing information on lenders that we know are available to our students. You do not need to select any of these lenders, and we encourage you to look around for additional financing options that maybe available to you. You have the right to choose any private lender you wish, and DigitalCrafts will work with any lender a student chooses to process his or her student loan.

DigitalCrafts believes that the loans offered by the two lenders listed above are competitive with terms offered by other private lenders; however, DigitalCrafts recommends that you investigate other available financing options before making a decision as to how you will finance your education at DigitalCrafts.

Code of Conduct

DigitalCrafts recognizes that ensuring the integrity of the student financial aid process is critical to providing students fair and affordable access to higher education. In furtherance of that goal, DigitalCrafts has promulgated the HEOA Code of Conduct (the “Code”) which prohibits activities which may create conflicts of interest in the student financial aid process between, on the one hand, DigitalCrafts and its campuses, and, on the other, its students and their parents. This Code is in accordance with the requirements of the federal Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (“HEOA”), and incorporates all terms, definitions, exceptions and conditions set forth in the HEOA.

The choice is yours

You may borrow from any lender you choose. DigitalCrafts will accept loans from any eligible lender you select. Title IV funding can offer lower cost funding options, however, programs offered by DigitalCrafts are currently ineligible for Federal (Title IV) financial aid. The Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program, which formerly worked with private lenders to provide education loans guaranteed by the federal government, is no longer available.
