How it Works

Payment for all tuition and fees per semester is due by the Friday prior to the start of classes.

A deferred payment option is available by application only to on-campus students fully enrolled in a program at Canadian Baptist Theological Seminary & College. A minimum payment of 25% of tuition & fees is required and a 5% payment plan fee will be collected at the point of application.

Online students, occasional students and first semester on-campus students are not eligible to apply for deferred payment.

Students will not be allowed to attend class if the above financial requirements are not met.

Students with unpaid balances at the end of a semester will not be permitted to write their final exams and grades will not be issued. In addition, these students cannot register for classes in the following semester.

Chronic financial problems may result in financial holds, suspension or expulsion of offending student.

Payment Options

Preferred methods of payment are debit, cheque and cash at the business office as well as Interact e-Transfer; for instructions email business@cbtsc.ca.

International Students

In compliance with Alberta Designation Requirements (ADR) CBT is required to have ‘Phased Tuition Collection’ for all international (including US) students.

The payment schedule is as follows:

  • Payment of 10% of tuition fees as a tuition deposit is required upon acceptance.
  • Payment of an additional 25% of total tuition/fees is required on the Friday prior to the start of classes.
  • The second payment of an additional 25% of tuition/fees is due mid-semester (after 7 weeks, when 50% of program benefit has been delivered).
  • The remainder of any outstanding balance of tuition/fees is payable on the Friday one week before final exam week. 

 

All international students will submit and agree to the terms of an International Student Payment Plan on the Friday prior to the start of classes. This only relates to fall and winter semesters. Tuition for intensive courses is due in full the Friday before class begins.

Refunds

There are no refunds for intensive courses after the start of class.

For the fall and spring semester students dropping a course(s) during the first two weeks of the semester will receive a refund of tuition & fees for the course(s) less a drop fee per change. Students dropping a course(s) after the end of the second week and prior to the end of the fourth week will receive a 50% refund of tuition. No refund will be made after the end of the fourth week of the semester.
