  2. Tuition includes a $100 non-refundable annual enrollment fee paid before the beginning of each academic year.
  3. Room and Security Deposit Fee: A $500 non-refundable deposit is required of all residential students beginning July 1, 2010. For new students, it must be paid prior to moving into the student apartments. The deposit is held for the faithful performance and observance by the resident student of the terms, provisions and conditions of their Resident Agreement contract. The fee will be refunded when the student vacates the apartment, minus cleaning and damage fees. The fee will not be applied towards the room expense.
  4. Undergraduate students taking less than 12 units of credit per quarter are not eligible for institutional financial aid.

  9. All single undergraduate students, who are under 25 years of age, are required to live on campus. Exceptions may be made in exceptional circumstances for students whose parents live within 20 miles of campus. Graduate students are not required to live on campus. Some on-campus housing may be available for single graduate students.
  10. For MA in Biblical Theology students: Once the student commences the required practicums the tuition is non-refundable. Once the student has committed to the Comprehensive Exam, the tuition is non-refundable.

Frequency of Payment of Fees:
Students are billed quarterly for their fees. The amount is one-third of the 9-month academic year total. Payments are due one month prior to the start of the quarter with no applicable convenience fees. Late payments will incur a 10% late fee.

Students are required to provide their own laptop computer and required software (which depends on the program of study). Students are required to purchase their own textbooks and take care of their own clothing, transportation and health insurance needs. Students participating in sports are expected to cover those costs.
