Regional fee differences on online degrees
Funding & Fees · updated 2026-09-07
Fees usually follow billing address or residency, not where you sit.
| Basis | Used by | Verified how |
|---|
| Billing address | Course platforms | Card country |
| Legal residency | Universities | Documents |
| Nationality | Some public schemes | Passport |
| Employer location | Corporate plans | Contract |
Notes
- Residency rules often need 3 years of prior residence.
- Using a VPN to get a lower rate breaches most terms and can void a certificate.
- Ask about fee status before applying, not after.
