Paying for the FSAT

Please note:  Due to rising costs, we have made the decision to raise the FSAT Sitting Fee to $90.  We feel this is a modest increase that won't cause a significant negative impact on our customers while also allowing us to continue to budget effectively as we continue to work on many efficient business transitions including electronic testing.  We have not raised the sitting fee since 2013 and we recently raised our certification fees this year for the same reasons.  We have scheduled this increase to be effective on January 1, 2025.  We are hopeful that this will allow our university customers ample time to adjust any budgeting.  We greatly appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to work with you and providing FSAT testing services in the future.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the President or Registrar's Office. 

Individual payments can be made online by clicking on the button below.  NOTE:  If you are paying for more than one examination, please reach out to the Registrar for an invoice.

Checks may be mailed to:
