The Reservation Fee is nonrefundable and nontransferable unless the College initiates cancellation of a student’s reservation or, prior to commencement of instruction, the student submits a written request to the Seminary or College within three working days of the payment. This fee varies by term.

A student is entitled to a full refund of tuition prior to commencement of instruction if the student submits a written request to the Seminary or College within three working days of the payment.

Textbooks, supplies, laundry, and incidentals may total $350–$600 per semester, depending, of course, on the individual student.

ATMs (automatic teller machines) have been placed on campus for the students’ banking needs. Any ATM card may be used; however, there is usually a nominal charge for using ATM cards not issued by Regions Bank or Hancock Bank.

Regions Bank and Hancock Bank will provide discounted banking services to PCC students. Bank representatives are on campus periodically to assist students in opening their new accounts.

All checks to the College for tuition and fees should be made out for the exact amount owed since the Business Office does not provide banking and check-cashing services.

Pensacola Theological Seminary and Pensacola Christian College are not liable for damage to any personal belongings of students under any circumstances including the event of a catastrophe, such as but not limited to windstorm, flood, hail, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, explosion, fire, smoke, and vehicle or aircraft accidents. Neither the Seminary nor the College is liable for theft of personal belongings of students, staff, or faculty members.

The spring Reservation Fee for returning students is due Dec. 13, 2013. The fall Reservation Fee is due May 7, 2014, unless the student notifies the Seminary or College by May 2, 2014, that he is not returning. Students who plan to attend year round and who begin their work in the summer must pay the fall Reservation Fee by Friday, July 26, 2013.

This fee covers student services and activites such as library, Fine Arts Series, athletic events, and yearbook. The part-time student’s fee does not include Fine Arts Series or yearbook.

This fee provides for technology services including individual on-campus e-mail accounts; campus Internet access; wireless service in campus buildings; communications; and corresponding hardware, infrastructure, and support.

The basic cost for the school term may be paid by the semester. A payment plan of eight payments is also available to students who are U.S. citizens. Payments may be made by check, money order, Visa®, MasterCard®, or Discover®. Payments may be charged automatically to a credit card for students who apply for this service. We are unable to accept postdated checks or to hold checks. By Aug. 1 [Jan. 13], all students must pay at least one fourth of the semester’s tuition, room and board, Student Services Fee, and Technology Fee.

Midterm or final exams may not be taken unless a student’s account is completely up-to-date. Students paying their accounts more than nine days late are charged a $15 late fee. Students with accounts more than ten days in arrears may not be allowed to attend class until their accounts are made current. If after students have missed five class days their accounts are still not current, they may be required to discontinue enrollment.

PTS and PCC maintain charges that are among the lowest in the nation; thus in effect, every student enrolled in PTS or PCC receives an automatic financial benefit of several thousand dollars.

A Beka Foundation Educational Fund provides low-interest loans to deserving students who need help in financing their seminary education at PTS or graduate education at PCC. Students attending year-round (fall/spring) are eligible to apply for A Beka Foundation loans upon completion of 9 credit hours.

Tuition, room and board, and fees for the summer program are due before registration. Students are expected to register for all their summer courses at the same time. The student will be charged a $7.50 Drop/Add/Change of Course Fee for changes made after the initial summer registration. Payments for the exact amount may be made by check, money order, Visa®, MasterCard®, or Discover®. It is of great advantage to the student at registration to pay ahead of time. This may be done by mail, online, or upon arrival. (Since there may be miscellaneous charges added after registration, such as Drop/Add/Change of Course Fee, the student is responsible to see that these are paid in order to receive his grade report for that session.) The only exception is full-time Christian workers Summer Payment Plan.

This plan is available to seminary and graduate students who work full time in a Christian ministry, are not planning to attend the Seminary or College year round, and who register for nine or more credits during the summer semester (this does not include May or August one-week modules). All conditional fees and one half the cost of tuition, room and board are to be paid on registration day. The balance of the tuition, room and board is to be paid in four equal payments on the f ollowing dates: September 30, October 28, and November 25, 2013; and January 13, 2014; Any payment that is more than nine days late will be charged a $15 late fee each month. Final session grades will be released upon full payment of the extended payment plan.

This fee covers student services such as library access and on-campus parking.

This fee provides for technology services including individual on-campus e-mail accounts; campus Internet access; wireless service in campus buildings; and corresponding hardware, infrastructure, and support.

This fee covers student services such as library access, including online databases; general course administration costs; and the cost of proctor’s packets, which include testing materials.

When all videos have been returned to the College undamaged, the $100 Video Deposit will be credited to your college account unless the Business Office has received a written refund request. If videos are lost or returned damaged, a partial refund will be given based on the number of videos returned in good condition.

Any student who does not cancel his reservation at least one week before the formal beginning of the semester for which he is enrolled must pay 25 percent of the full semester’s tuition within 30 days. (Deadline for fall semester is 4 P.M., Monday, August 26, 2013; spring semester is 4 P.M., Sunday, January 12, 2014.)

A student whose withdrawal is officially approved and whose departure is before the end of the first three weeks of the semester owes all fees for the semester and the semester’s tuition according to the following schedule:

A student also owes fees and room and board (if a residence hall student) at a prorated amount based on the length of his stay.

Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours before the beginning of any 2013 summer session to avoid a monetary penalty. The deadline time is 4:30 p.m. CDT on the dates below.

Any student who does not cancel his reservation by the above deadlines must pay the full tuition and fees for that session within 30 days.

If a student comes and claims his reservation but withdraws before completing the session, he is responsible for full tuition and fees for the course that session (exception: students taking 2 courses each day—see the Business Office Supervisor).

Whenever a student’s status is changed to “withdrawal” and the student owes money on his account, the money is due upon withdrawal. Interest of one percent per month (12% APR) will be charged beginning 30 days after the withdrawal on the unpaid balance until the debt is paid in full.

Should a student leave the Seminary or College for any reason after having paid more than the amounts outlined above, a refund is made to him for any overpayment; but no other refund is made to a student for any other reason. No refunds are issued on a student’s account until after the third week of school has been completed.

For a student to withdraw from a class, he must obtain written permission from the Registrar and submit it to the Records Office.

When a student is accepted for fall semester, he is expected to remain a student at the Seminary or College for both fall and spring semesters of that academic year. The student’s reservation is automatically carried over from fall semester to spring semester within a given school year. Therefore, if a student withdraws at the end of fall semester, he must notify the Seminary-Graduate Studies Office in writing.
