What you can arrange with WAC, and what it costs
Fees for the things that are not part of a membership: news announcements and partner features, sponsored sessions, the WAC Digital Summit, and campus and faculty plans. Members pay the member price. Others are welcome at the standard price.
EdTech, skills and training companies
Reach the universities, educators and employers in the WAC network. Everything paid for is labelled, and the details are agreed in writing before an invoice is issued.

Institutions can also sponsor a session, host a masterclass or take a day of the Digital Summit at the fees in the table above.
Masterclasses and courses
The price of each masterclass and course is announced with it. Student and individual members get priority places and pay the member price.
Those who attend a masterclass receive a certificate of participation. A course ends with an assessment and a certificate of completion.
How paid work is handled
- Partner features, paid announcements and sponsored sessions are labelled as such.
- WAC News reporting and the findings of white papers cannot be bought.
- A sponsor receives the contact details only of participants who agreed to share them.
- A WAC certificate records what you attended or completed. It is not an accreditation or a degree.
