TUITION & FEES

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Matriculation means you have been accepted and have commenced studies leading to a specific certificate or diploma or degree, and that you are responsible for all applicable tuition and fees. These are made known to each applicant before loan agreements are signed. No student will be awarded a diploma unless all financial and academic requirements have been satisfied and that includes any late fees or other charges. Tuition payments are made on or before the 5th of each month until the loan has been retired. There is no interest charged so long as the student maintains a good payment history, and all payments are rounded to the closest dollar. Eligible applicants may be entitled to financial assistance that may vary depending upon the individual and the circumstances. The following scholarship was established on January 10, 1995: The Archimandrite Mark W Gielow Memorial Scholarship Fund awards eligible degree process students $500.00 to $1,000.00 towards their tuition depending upon the individual, the income, and the need. This does not apply to licentiate degree programs.
