Payment of Accounts
All tuition and fees are due in full on or before the day of registration. At the end of each month a 2.5 % late fee will be assessed on any outstanding balance. Tuition payments are to be made in the business office. Visa and Master Card payments are accepted. No registration without payment is permitted without written approval from the business office.
Students whose accounts in the business office are not current may not register for the next semester, nor will the seminary release their transcripts or send letters of reference. Seniors whose accounts are not paid in full will not receive their degrees.
All tuition accounts are due and payable on or before the day of registration. A student’s registration is not complete, and he or she may not attend classes, until all financial obligations are paid or contractual arrangements have been made for settling the account with the Business Office.
Graduation Fee
A non-refundable fee of $100 must accompany any Candidacy For a Degree form. This is required before a student will be presented as a degree candidate.
Transcripts
A transcript, record of courses taken and grades received, will be issued upon graduation. Any other transcripts must be requested in writing to the Registrar, accompanied with payment of $10 for each transcript requested.

Failure to attend class does not constitute withdrawal. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the appropriate form for withdrawing from a course.
Courses are officially dropped when a Drop/Add form has been signed by the instructor and has been turned in to the Registrar’s Office. The Registrar will inform the Business Office of the refund allowed. Please allow four (4) weeks for a refund.
Reinstating Fee
Students who have officially withdrawn from studies for more than one year are charged a $25 Reinstating fee.
Non-payment of Accounts
Students with a balance due in their accounts on the final day the class meets for any given term (including each intensive course) shall:
- not receive an official grade nor credit for any courses taken in that term, and
- not be permitted to register for further studies at Faith Theological Seminary until the account is fully paid.
All accounts due the Seminary must be paid in full before a student will be recommended for graduation. No transcripts can be released to a student owing a balance in any account (library, tuition, etc.) to the Seminary.
