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.
"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.

The Etudes Board of Directors is committed to stable pricing from

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.
