Tuition Information
- First-quarter tuition and fees for new students become due 30 days prior to entry. A student may not register for succeeding quarters unless all tuition and fees that are due have been paid, or unless the student has made arrangements for an approved alternate payment plan.
- Tuition is charged on a quarter-by-quarter basis. Students are not obligated beyond the quarter they are currently attending. Tuition for repeat courses is charged on a per-credit basis.
- A $25 fee will be charged for all checks returned due non-sufficient funds.
Because your actual program length may vary depending on your program of interest, transfer credits and other factors considered in the admissions interview, your total program tuition may be different from that listed below. If you have questions, please contact the Admissions Department at 1-800-275-2471, 206-448-6600, or email Admissions at aisadm@aii.edu. An explanation of the fees listed follows at the bottom of this page.

- Photography: a tripod, estimated cost $170.
- Graphic Design: an airbrush, estimated cost $120 (optional).
