Pacing & Cost

The Accelerate Calculator.

Forward charges a flat rate per term, not per year. Carry more hours a week, clear the same programme in fewer terms, and pay for fewer terms. Move the slider and watch the timeline contract.

How flat-rate acceleration works

Same degree, fewer terms, less money.

The calculator is scoped to Path One, the Term Model, where tuition is one flat fee per term however much you master. Commit more hours a week, demonstrate mastery in more courses per term, clear the required terms sooner, and you simply pay for fewer terms. A Path Two, Block Model variant is included for comparison: there, fees are charged per block or per trimester, so more hours a week compresses the calendar rather than the number of blocks billed. Both pathways lead to the same award.

  • Actual pacing is subject to course prerequisites, cohort scheduling and academic standing.
