Admissions To be admitted into the Oak Brook College paralegal program, interested parties must complete the application for admission before the application deadline. Once received, all applications are reviewed by the admissions committee with respect to three factors: (1) academic qualifications; (2) familiarity with certain Biblical principles of life; and (3) commitment to the purposes and mission of the College. 1. Academic Qualifications. Oak Brook College assesses the academic qualifications of each applicant by examining the applicant's academic record, test scores, work history, and three personal reference evaluations. Work experience in a law-related field is helpful but not necessary. In order to be considered for admission into the program, the applicant must achieve a score of at least 55 (or a score of at least 500 on the old exam grading scale) on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) English Composition exam (with or without essay). 2. Commitment to the Purposes and Mission of the College. The Applications Committee seeks applicants who share a commitment to the mission of Oak Brook College. Evidence of an applicant's commitment to the goals of the College is found in personal reference recommendations, application responses, personal character qualities, and by the applicant's motivation for studying law. Tuition and Other Fees Tuition for the one-year program is $2,700 and is payable in full at the beginning of the year. Alternatively, students may choose to pay via credit card, in which case Oak Brook College will collect quarterly tuition payments approximately in the amount of $700 per quarter, beginning immediately upon the student's enrollment. Applicants are charged a nonrefundable $25 application fee that must be included with the application. There is a nonrefundable $75 registration fee, a $170 media fee which covers the cost for audio lectures, video lectures and a few required texts. There is an $80 technology fee. All lectures, other then the Basic Seminar DVDs, may be kept by the student at the completion of the program. For each of the 16 required courses, the student must obtain one or more textbooks. Most required textbooks may be purchased via the Internet. A text list is sent to the students after acceptance into the program. Additional costs associated with the distance education nature of the program may be incurred by students, including the cost of computer equipment, Internet and e-mail access fees, and mailing course assignments and examinations to the College for evaluation and grading. All such costs are the responsibility of the student. E-mail access is mandatory. Oak Brook College does not at this time provide financial aid to students and does not participate in any student loan programs.
