I am starting the cohort next week along with my spouse who is going the ED.d program. Right now, we're both having issues with the SplitIt system and can't make a payment for the tuition. The credit card payment with SplitIt comes with a 15% discount on the base tuition total, which is the maximum discount you can receive, so even if you do get referrals, it won't make a difference to your tuition total. At the moment, we have a support ticket with SplitIt for the issue.
I am anticipating a monthly fee of $275 USD for the DBA, and $261 USD for the ED.d for 24 months.
At the moment, we have two children under 3yo, so we'll only have nighttime and weekends to work on the courses. I'll create a new thread to track the progresses so we don't consume this one where it becomes cumbersome to find information.

Did anyone get an invitation for the initial orientation session for Edgewood DBA October cohort. As per my understanding, it should be booked for Sep 30th.

Hi guys, here are some experiences I had so far in the DBA program. 1. Splitit makes payments more complicated than it should be, but you can also pay the full fee straight away if you prefer. Using credit card will give you a discount. 2. Study time: I am only studying in the evening for the DBA and if you can spend 8 to 15 hours per week you will probably be fine. Some classes are heavy on reading, others require a longer essay and assignments. 3. I am generally happy with my experience in the program so far. UpGrad sometimes takes a bit of time to solve issues, but in the end it always worked out so far.
Hope that helps, Caracal

I had to schedule a 1:1 onboarding call. The earliest day that worked for me was October 3rd.

I addition to the onboarding call we should have an orientation session. upGrad should reveal courses and class schedules. My understanding was that yhe orientation session will be booked for Sep 30th.. however no meeting invite by now.
