Monograph & Thesis Binding Fees

An additional fee is due before graduation. Students are required to submit one unbound, and two hard-bound copies of each monograph, thesis, or dissertation they are required to complete. The unbound one and one hard-bound copy become the property of the school, and the other hard-bound copy remains the property of the student. It will be graded and sent back to the student within 30-45 days of receipt. (All copyrights remain the sole property of the student.) Therefore, if Vision desires to publish a particular monograph, thesis, or dissertation, the school will request permission from the student. The final word concerning publication rests solely with the student. Vision will have the binding of the monograph, thesis, or dissertation done at a professional bookbindery. The charge for Vision to have the binding done is $150.00 for two copies. Students may choose to have the binding done themselves, however students must, in writing, request permission to do so. Permission most often will be granted as long as the final product is professional looking and hard-bound (plastic and spiral bindings not accepted) and all specific guidelines (i.e., color, lettering, etc.) are followed. Bachelor’s monographs must be bound in black, Master’s theses in maroon, (maroon Levant or maroon x-grain) or scarlet and Doctoral Projects in Blue (Dark blue with gold lettering).

Online Course Service Fee

Online courses carry the same tuition rate as correspondence courses; some may carry an additional Online Service Fee. You select your study method: Correspondence/Distance Education or Online Learning.
