Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FILL-Metro cost?
A: $295 per semester
Q: What do I get with my $295 semester tuition?
A: Members can audit (no credit) one university course and as many FILL classes (no credit) as you like. You will also have full access to our campus, facilities, and events. You will also receive an FDU ID card, parking sticker, and email address.
Q: Are classes online or in person?
A: Both. Almost all audited university courses meet in person on the Metro campus (in Teaneck/Hackensack, NJ), but the FILL courses are a mix of online only (via Zoom) and in person. You will need a computer, tablet (such as an iPad), or a smartphone to attend online classes.
Q: What's the difference between University and FILL courses?
A: University courses are taught by FDU professors with undergraduates. These courses follow a syllabus through a 15-week semester. FILL members don't have to do assignments, but are encouraged to participate in discussion and do assigned readings. These classes generally meet twice a week (75 minutes each) or once a week for 2 and a half hours.
FILL courses are taught by professionals and members of the program and include fiction reading, poetry, opera, history, current events, statistics, and more. These are informal, discussion-based classes that foster community, the sharing of ideas, and creativity. They vary in session length from single sessions to 14 weeks, and usually meet once per week for about 75 minutes. Most FILL classes meet between 10 am and 4 pm, Mondays through Fridays.
Q: Is there a per class rate?
A: No. We aren't set up to offer a la carte payment. We encourage members to take multiple classes to get the best experience from our program.
Q: How do I sign up and register?
A: Check out the "Apply to FILL" tab at the top of this page for a step by step process.
Q: How come I'm not getting emails from FILL?
A: Your emails may be ending up in your "Junk" or "Spam" folders. You might want to check these and/or consider "whitelisting" ktk94@fdu.edu.
Q: Can I pay online for FILL?
