What Tuition Covers

Everything required to complete a program is within the rate.

Course Materials

All readings, lesson content and media, supplied digitally. There are no textbooks to purchase separately.

Academic Support

Support at any hour, with no limit on the number of questions, and scheduled contact with faculty.

Assistance

Payment Plans and Scholarships

Payment

Instalment Plans

Tuition may be paid monthly rather than by program or by term. Plans carry no interest. Arrangements are agreed with the Admissions Office before enrollment.

Up to $5,000

Service Scholarship

For applicants with a demonstrated record of service to their community or congregation. Renewable annually, subject to maintaining satisfactory academic standing.

Up to $3,000

International Scholarship

For applicants from countries where access to higher education is constrained, awarded on a combination of need and merit.

Scholarship consideration is part of the ordinary application; there is no separate form. Need-based awards require a brief financial statement. Decisions are normally issued within two weeks of review. Employers sponsoring a student's study may request documentation for their own records.

You May Be Paying for Fewer Credits Than You Think

Up to ninety of the one hundred and twenty credits for the degree may come from study you have already completed, which reduces the total accordingly. Transcripts are assessed at no charge, and payment arrangements are agreed before anything falls due.
