>The fee is $75 for the first 15 week course, $60 for each additional
>course; auditing is $30 per course. ("There are special considerations
>given to those who truly cannot afford the going rates, though, since
>these fees are already very low, only the most extreme circumstances
>lead to further reductions" -- see WWW page).
