edge methodology equal to or beyond what is considered the best in the realm of online higher education.
In addition to being the world's first tuition free college, TADI is also the world's
first SYMBIONT college. The Institute exists only and entirely within, and surrounded by, fully accredited and licensed universities. The
school is a 100% virtual cyber-college enabling
the symbiotic relationship with other institutions of higher learning to exist and survive. The entire educational
experience is online. With nine years of development under its belt, the Institute seeks Scholars around the world.
TADI is the historical marker among world universities for being
the FIRST online international tuition free institution of higher learning that has also evolved into The FIRST
university to be entirely within the walls of host universities.
Named in honor of Alfonso
DiUlus - 1871-1964
During the early 1890's, Alfonso DeIuliis, later to change his name to DIULUS, passed through the European gateway for immigrants at Ellis Island. As an Italian
national, immigrating to the United States from famine ridden Europe, he was looking for, as so many immigrants to America
were, a piece of those American streets many arrivals to the new world envisioned as paved with gold. For
Alfonso that gold was education that would be made available to his children, and not reserved exclusively to the
elites as it was in Europe.
As the original guardian
of the family flame, Alfonso personally witnessed the ‘Lighting of the family's lamp of knowledge that has
passed through five generations of descendants. Alfonso’s enduring legacy lives on through the Institute.

The DiUlus
Institute Student Handbook recounts the DiUlus Scholar ideals and expectations of DiUlus Scholars. It lays the groundwork for Scholar
expectations and what is expected of the Institute's scholars in representing the Institute to the world. The handbook
is punctuated by three descriptive and fundamental sections that triangulate the foundation of a DiUlus scholar's
success. Scholars are expected to live out the DiUlus Institute personal Code of Conduct as learners and "not
lie, steal, or cheat nor tolerate those that do" in pursuit of their academic goals in addition to adopting and
teaching to others the DiUlus Institute core values of Respect, Fairness, Responsibility, Trustworthiness, Caring, Faith,
Courage, and Commitment.
