Payment Policies

Expenses

The King’s Seminary makes every effort to offer quality theological education at the most moderate cost possible. It is the gracious support of donor/partners across the country which enables The King’s to keep tuition and fee cost so modest.

Payment of Accounts

All tuition and fees are due and payable in full at the time of registration. Payment may be made by cash, check, or credit card. Students may pay in person, by mail, and by phone if using a credit card. Students will incur a $55 late registration charge for any payment not received by the deadline for registration.

The King's Seminary will not communicate balance information for payment from anyone other than the student unless the student has authorized the release of his/her account information to his/her parent(s), legal guardian(s), company, or another individual by signing the Release of Student Information form and submitting it to the Registrar office.

Deferred Payment Plans

Students may choose from two deferred payment plans. The Two Payment Plan allows students to pay one-half of their balance at the time of registration and the second half at a designated time during the quarter that is set by the institution. The Three Payment Plan allows students to pay one-third of their balance at the time of registration with a second and third one-third balance payment at designated times during the quarter that are set by the institution. There is a deferred payment fee when students choose a payment plan. Payments not received by the scheduled due date will incur a late payment charge. Accounts must be cleared prior to the taking of final examinations. Students may contact the Student Accounts Office at any time during the quarter for their account balance.

Improper Payment

When a personal check or credit card payment is returned, the student will be charged an insufficient funds processing fee. Bad payments must be rectified within five days of notification from the school. Students whose payments are returned, may be denied future enrollment if such practice occurs multiple times.

Outstanding Balances

A student’s account must be current by the end of each enrollment period. Students will not be permitted to register for courses in subsequent quarters if they have an unpaid balance on their account unless special permission is obtained from Student Accounts.

Balances remaining on a student’s account at the end of the quarter will incur a financial charge of 1.75% per month until paid in full. This is an annual interest rate of 21%. A student’s records, grades, and transcripts will not be released while an outstanding balance exists. The King’s may report unpaid accounts to national credit agencies and solicit a collection agency to secure payment of delinquent accounts. Students will be responsible for the payment of all collection costs including attorney and court fees.

Refund Policy

Tuition credit/refunds are given for withdrawal from a course(s) when an official Schedule Adjustment (Drop/Add) Form is filed with the Registrar. Students may withdraw from a course and receive a full tuition credit/refund anytime prior to the beginning of the course or during the first week of a ten-week quarter. The date of withdrawal is certified as the date on which the Schedule Adjustment (Drop/Add) Form is filed with the Registrar (not the date of the last class attended). Failure to attend class does not constitute withdrawal. Students failing to properly withdraw from a course will not normally receive a tuition credit/refund. Fees are nonrefundable.

Refunds are issued according to the following schedule minus the nonrefundable matriculation fee.

Audits/Non-Credits
Auditing a course or being allowed to take a course for non-credit means a student has obtained permission to attend the course and is not enrolled for academic credit. Thus, audit or non-credit courses cannot be dropped nor credit/refunds issued. Audited courses are not listed on transcripts.
