University Financial Operating Policy
Tuition and fees are kept as low as possible to be consistent
with responsible operation of the University. The revenue from
students does not cover the total cost of operation.
The University is partially supported by individuals and
churches who desire to share in the preparation of students for
effective Christian service in all walks of life. Some funds are
received from interested businesses, industries, and foundations.
Student costs are subject to change upon reasonable
notification by the University. See the Academic Programs section
of this catalog for costs associated with specific programs.
Financial Registration Policy
To enable the University to be responsible in meeting its
financial obligations, students must make provision for the
payment of their bill at the beginning of each term. A student’s
registration for classes indicates a commitment to pay for related
charges as stated in this catalog (see Payment Penalties).
Students must be financially registered prior to the start of
classes each term.
To be financially registered, a student must
first do one of the following:
• Pay his or her bill in full by the stated due date on the invoice,
make at least the first payment plan due date
• Make arrangements with the Cashiers Office for payment
(
