Fee-Based Degrees
BUILD PROGRAMS THAT GROW POTENTIAL
Undergraduate and graduate programs can open up new doors and boundless possibilities for students by offering them access to your expert faculty and leading-edge curriculum. Whether you want to expand the number of degrees you offer or ensure your existing offerings continue to run smoothly, we have the skills and expertise to take your program to the next level.
SERVICE LEVELS & PACKAGES
We structure our service levels into two tiers for fee-based degree programs: Core and Complement. Both levels of service provide you with a Partner Success Lead (PSL) as your primary liaison to Continuum College, who can answer all service-related questions as well as support and troubleshoot issues.
CORE
Essential Continuum services for self-sustaining programs.
COMPLEMENT
Additional finance and marketing services that build on the Core service level.
The PSL works in collaboration with you to understand your strategic priorities, aligning our work to help accomplish longer-term goals and providing customized support to meet the unique needs of your degree program as they change over time.
You can review your options each year and determine whether to update your service selections. Service level decisions occur around the start of each academic year to inform budgeting and fee rate submission to the Office of Finance, Planning & Budgeting (FBP).
Core
The foundation for running a fee-based program, Core includes the essential services Continuum offers all self-sustaining programs. You'll receive registration and financial support for students, meaning the registration team is available to answer questions from students, advisers, etc., and be featured in our annual catalog and on our website.
In addition, Continuum maintains a student information system (EOS) that’s integrated with the UW Student Database (SDB), allowing partners receive access to an online payment portal, student collections, course management and integration with SDB.
Complement
The Complement service level builds upon the Core level of service, offering another layer of program support from Continuum’s expert finance and marketing teams. We guide complement partners through annual budget planning timelines and requirements, develop budget templates and manage their final entry into UW budgetary software. Complement services also help our partners maintain an external presence for prospective students via marketing, email management and website services.
