    • eMajor FinTech Core Courses are $199 per credit hour plus fees (price subject to change without prior notice).
    • Students must complete the eMajor Introduction Quiz before being able to register for an eMajor course.
      • The quiz is a prerequisite for all eMajor courses and only needs to be completed once.
      • Select "FinTech Academy" as the program when asked within the quiz.
    • Registration spots are based on available seats in the FTA courses.
      • FTA course seats are shared with other institutions in the collaborative program. There is an automatic seat balancer for the FTA courses which runs every 10 minutes.
    • There are two course formats for some of the FTA courses: asynchronous and synchronous.
      • Synchronous course sections will require you to attend a virtual class meeting on a specific day and time. The course schedule will show you which section of the course includes synchronous virtual meetings.
    • Students may not withdraw through Banner. Learn more about the eMajor Withdrawal Request.
