How Do I Pay My Bill?
The full tuition and room and board can be paid in full upon enrolling. Students who wish to make installment payments must pay 20% of their semester charges on registration day. This will be the first of five equal payments which must be paid over the semester. Additional fees will be paid throughout the semester according to the student handbook.
A two-week grace period is provided for any student who is struggling with his bill. A student will be withdrawn from classes after this if his bill is not paid. There will be a late fee of $15 to your account after 7 days and an additional late fee of $15 if your account is not current after 14 days. A student who is behind in his bill will be permitted to stay on campus for seven days after he is withdrawn from classes if he is working to pay the balance on his bill.
Returned Check Fee
Students will be charged $15.00 for a returned check. This applies to any ministry or organization of the college (e.g., campus bookstore, Business Office, college cafeteria, etc.)A second returned check will result in a $25.00 charge.
No checks will be accepted as payment after two checks have been returned by the bank. Payments will then need to be paid in cash or by money order.
Holiday Fee
The Christmas holiday is not included in the regular room and board fees. Thus, for each day a student is on campus during the Christmas break, a per day charge will be assessed.
Books
Students will also be responsible for purchasing books for their classes. The number and price of these books will vary according to the courses taken.
Auditing of Classes
Approved students may audit classes at the rate of $91.00 per credit hour.
Financial Obligations for Withdrawal
Any student who is expelled or who withdraws, for any reason, must pay the full amount of the tuition, fees, and room and board which was due on or before the date the student withdrew or was expelled.
If upon withdrawal, a student has already paid more than the above prescribed amounts, a refund of tuition, fees, and room and board will be provided to him for the amount of overpayment. There are no other provisions for refunds for students who withdraw or are expelled.
