Health Insurance
The Board of Directors of the Seminary has determined that students must be adequately covered with health insurance, either by participating in the premium plan offered by the Seminary or by another plan. It is important that this cost be included in each student's estimate of expenses. Verification of an existing policy is due upon registration for each term of attendance. Premium insurance coverage is compulsory for international students.
Payment
Academic fees and expenses are payable during the first two weeks of each term. When necessary, full-time and part-time students may make arrangements at the Business Office for a payment plan to cover a term's expenses. There is a finance charge of 1/2% per month on the open account balance.
The Seminary's Business Office requires all students' account balances to be paid in full before they can register for the following term. Exceptions may be granted by the Business Office to full-time students with balances up to $500.
Credit card payments are accepted in person at the Business Office.
