Terms of Payment

Payments may be made by cash, check, money order, or credit card (Visa or MasterCard). Students unable to pay the full semester’s charges should make prior arrangements with the business office to fulfill their financial responsibilities through a deferred-payment plan. The deferred-payment plan allows students to defer up to 66% of their tuition charges. A minimum 34% of tuition, plus fees, must be paid one week prior to the start of the term. The remaining balance of tuition must be in two 33% monthly payments. A 1.5% service charge will be added to the unpaid balance each month. No individual who has unpaid financial obligations to the Seminary or library shall be permitted to register, take final examinations, receive a degree, or be issued an official transcript. Final exams will not be re-administered to any student at a later date.

Refunds

A student who gives the Registrar written notification of his or her withdrawal from courses during any academic term, or of a desire to change his/her enrollment in a course from credit to audit status, will receive a tuition refund according to the following schedules. If the student withdraws from a course before the class has met, all tuition will be refunded (this does not include a refund of Drop Fees, Audit Fees, Listener’s Passes, or Enrollment Deposit unless the withdrawal form has been completed and submitted). The Student Association Fee will not be refunded after the first two weeks of the academic period. Refunds owed for Federal Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans and PLUS Loans are not calculated according to WSC’s tuition refund schedule. Federal Student Aid recipients should see the Financial Aid Coordinator for information on refunds or payments due.
