Reservation Fee—Fall/Spring
The spring Reservation Fee for returning students is due December 18, 2009. The fall Reservation Fee is due May 12, 2010, unless the student notifies the College by May 7, 2010, 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 31, 2009.
Student Services Fee—Fall/Spring
This fee for residence hall graduate students covers student services and activities such as library, Fine Arts Series, athletic events, and yearbook. The fee for part-time town graduate students taking 1–11 hours does not include Fine Arts Series and yearbook. The Student Services Fee is payable with the first payment of each semester.
Technology Fee—Fall/Spring
All students pay this nonrefundable fee each semester and summer to help cover the cost of technology on campus. Each student, including town students, receives an on-campus e-mail address as well as limited Internet access. Wireless connections in the residence halls and in selected buildings on campus allow students convenient access to these services.
Telephone Services Fee—Fall/Spring
This fee ($100, plus tax, per semester, subject to change) covers phone rental, required maintenance, the ability to receive calls from the residence hall switchboard, on-campus calling, local calls, long-distance calls (400 minutes every 27-30 days), and voice mail. Other long-distance and information calls are billed separately on monthly statements and are due at the same dates as all other charges.
Consult other pages for Payment Plan, Financial Services, and Cancellation and Withdrawal Policies that apply to the fall/spring graduate program.

Financial Terms—Summer
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 $5.50 Drop/Add fee for each course dropped or added 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 PCC Card or Drop/Add fees, 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.)
Payment Plan—Summer
This plan is available to graduate students who work full time in a Christian ministry, are not planning to attend the College year round, and who register for nine or more credits during the summer. 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 following dates: October 5, November 2 and November 30, 2009; and January 18, 2010. 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.
Technology Fee—Summer
All students pay the nonrefundable Technology Fee each semester and summer to help cover the cost of technology on campus. Each student, including town students, receives an on-campus e-mail address as well as limited Internet access. Wireless connections in the residence halls and in selected buildings on campus allow students convenient access to these services.
Cancellation and Withdrawal Policies
Summer
Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours before the beginning of any 2009 summer session to avoid a monetary penalty. The deadline time is 4:30 P.M. CST on the dates listed below.
| Session I | Saturday | June 20 |
| Session II | Monday | June 29 |
| Session III | Friday | July 10 |
| Session IV | Sunday | July 19 |
| Session V | Tuesday | July 28 |
Any student who does not cancel his reservation by the above deadlines must pay within 30 days the full tuition for that session. A student is entitled to a full refund of tuition and registration fees prior to commencement of instruction if the student submits a written request to the College within three working days of the payment.
If a student comes and claims his reservation but withdraws before completing the session, he is responsible for full tuition for the course that session (exception: students taking 3 courses each day—see the Business Office Supervisor). A residence hall student owes room and board at a prorated amount based on the length of his stay. Any balance on his account must be paid within 30 days.
Fall and Spring
Consult Cancellation and Withdrawal Policies that apply to the fall/spring graduate program.
