This plan offers a cost-effective way for your diocese to provide high quality online programs in adult faith formation delivered in a convenient , flexible, and adult-friendly format. CDU handles all the details of student enrollment, so your diocesan staff won't be answering questions or processing paperwork.

Your diocese pays a $4,000 annual fee to subsize the regular tuition rate of $165 per course or seminar. Then noncredit online courses and seminars are offered to members of your diocese at a lower tuition rate of $30 which is paid by the student. The enhanced subsidy plan offers an unlimited number of enrollments per the agreement year letting your diocese increase the number of adults receiving solid formation in a convenient, flexible, and adult-friendly format.

Subsidy partners also receive a portal on the CDU website containing information about what courses and seminars at CDU match diocesan requirements for catechetical certification, diaconate training, or any other certification programs. This plan can be used at the diocesan, parish, Catholic school, or group level.
