TERMS OF PAYMENT
Tuition and fees are due one week prior to the start of each semester. Payments for winter and summer term classes must be paid in full by the first day of class. Payments may be made by cash, check, money order, or credit card (Visa or MasterCard). Because Federal Stafford Loans are disbursed during the first week of the fall and spring semesters, payment for summer term classes are the responsibility of the student. Students who expect to receive financial assistance beyond tuition charges from churches or other sources must provide, with their first tuition payment, a letter from the church or other source, on its letterhead, signed by a church official indicating the amount to be distributed to the student for living expenses. This letter must indicate how much is to be paid directly to the student for living expenses, if any. No individual who has unpaid financial obligations to the Seminary or library shall be permitted to register, take final examinations, receive a degree, or be issued an official transcript. Final exams will not be re-administered to any student at a later date.
