Etudes Hosting & Support Services
Teaching, Learning & Collaboration Enterprise Course Management System

Fees for fiscal year 2010-2011 (July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011)

In the spirit of our non-profit mission and commitment to openness, we publish our services fees.

John Wagstaff, CIO, El Camino College"The thing that attracted us to Etudes is the cost point. Because Etudes is a non-profit consortium, the membership isn't in the business of making money. It is in the business of covering its costs and evolving the product. It's a little like owing a condominium. We charge what is needed to make the thing sustainable. And that means, from El Camino College's point of view, that we'll pay less than we would with a commercial vendor - in fact, we pay a lot less." -- John Wagstaff, CTO, El Camino College and Chairman, Etudes Board of Directors

Hosting levels are inclusive of all services and benefits. Costs for services are based on the highest number of enrollments to be served (peak term) by the Etudes course management system to deliver or support instruction and collaboration. Duplicated head count is considered when determining a client's level.

Level Seats Supported Per Term Total Annual Fee
Entry Up to 500 accounts $2,900.00
Level 1 Up to 1,400 accounts $6,280.00
Level 2 Up to 2,300 accounts $12,000.00
Level 3 Up to 4,000 accounts $21,000.00
Level 4 up to 6,500 accounts $34,000.00
Level 5 Up to 9,700 accounts $51,000.00
Level 6 Up to 15,500 accounts $81,500.00
Level 7 Up to 20,000 accounts $105,000.00
Level 8 Up to 25,000 accounts $130,000.00
Enterprise No Ceiling $150,000.00

The above fees reflect a $5.25 per-user cost, per term. The Etudes Board of Directors is committed to stable pricing from year-to-year. A sincere effort will always be made to keep rate increases within 3-5% or less. For example, for FY 2010-11, our rates were lowered by approximately $1.20 per-user across levels.

Contracts are renewable annually. Multi-year contracts are considered on a case-by-case basis.

NO license fees.
