Fees & Tuition

Charges for tuition, fees, and room & board are due and payable one week before the beginning of each semester. Invoices will be sent to students one month in advance of any due dates. Full-time students may make arrangements with the Student Billing Office to pay these fees in installments, subject to a 1% per month finance charge, the first of which is due at the beginning of the semester. All accounts must be paid in full for the previous term before the student is permitted to register for a new semester. The student will not be permitted to attend classes if payment or other satisfactory arrangements have not been made by the week before the beginning of the semester.

Students who are using Veterans Affairs benefits to pay for their educational expenses will not be kept from attending classes or otherwise penalized if the disbursement of funds from the Veterans Affairs is delayed. In order to continue without any penalty, the student must submit their Certificate of Eligibility for Veterans Affairs benefits within the first two weeks of the semester. 

Tuition and fees are set annually by the Board of Trustees and are subject to change at the Board’s discretion. Tuition, fees, and estimates of other expenses for the following academic year are posted online each year by mid January.

*This Cost of Attendance (COA) chart is based upon the Academic Year, which is approximately 9 months. Thus, Rent, Food estimates, and Utilities are presented here only for the 9 months of the academic year. Married students living in a seminary apartment are responsible for paying rent from the day they move into the apartment until the day they move out. Therefore, when preparing a budget, students should make provision for rental, grocery, and transportation expenses during the summer months in addition to the totals shown above.

**The figure in the "married student in apartment" column is the average 9-month cost of a 1BR apartment on campus, $1000/month, and the figure in the "with children" column is the rough average 9-month cost of the 2–3BR apartments on campus, which range from $1100–$1300/month.

***$160/year goes to the Student Mutual Aid Fund, and $240/year goes to the Student Activities Fund.
