Motlow Announces No Online Course Fees - Cannon Courier

Dr. Michael Torrence, President of Motlow says"Words do not express the pride and admiration I have in Motlow's faculty and staff for their innovation and collaboration in meeting online learning needs without the addition of fees." "Access is not equity. Equity is ensuring that all students have the resources to succeed. This goal has been very intentional for us. We are driven by our passion for student success and we want to ensure that all students have access to the resources they need to be successful," he added. Motlow takes reducing student fees even further. The College endeavors to match the control of fees with the control of textbook costs by using Open Educational Resources (OER). As part of the College's 2020-2021 Annual Plan for Improvement, 16 general education courses were initially established as OER at the start of the Fall 2020 semester, and now Motlow has more than 50 OER courses available for students.
