RAIC Syllabus Program Fee Changes for 2021

The RAIC Syllabus program is proud to have held studio courses and administrative fees stable since 2014, implementing no fee increases to students for over 6 years. Our goal for the program is to continually improve the quality of services and the student experience. To do this, we must continually make investments to deliver on improved quality.  

As such, all 2021 studio course and administrative fees have been increased by 5%. This fee change took effect December 15, 2020. The increased fees will support ongoing improvements to the program including, but not limited to: 

 - Improved technological infrastructure 
 - Continued and expanded operation of virtual studios 
 - Increased administrative support 
 - Enhanced course delivery

RAIC Connects is a virtual community where members can share ideas, discuss practice challenges, post questions, read and share blog posts and news articles, learn about fellow RAIC members, and benefit from shared knowledge, resources, and information. 

Syllabus students have access to a Syllabus student-only community on RAIC Connects, to share content, ideas, and network. Discussion boards for studio levels have been added to the community. We encourage students to visit the community and introduce themselves!
