Payment Plans

Once your tuition has been invoiced, you'll have the opportunity to make payments on your account in Populi. From this platform, you also have the option to select a payment plan that will spread out the cost of your tuition across a given term. Options for payment plans vary by degree program. This is because of differences in term lengths.

For MDiv, MAR, and all residential programs, there are two standard payment plans to choose from:

• Two installment plan - Half of your tuition will be due on the first day of the term, with the final balance being due at the end of the term
• Four installment plan - Four equal monthly payments, spanning the course of a term.

To set up one of these plans on your account, head to the "Make a Payment" tab on your financial dashboard just as if you would normally be making a tuition payment.

For MAC, MATS, and Certificate programs, we have one available payment plan. Your amount due will be split into three equal payments, with the following due dates:

• Payment 1: due at the end of registration
• Payment 2: due around the first day of the term
• Payment 3: due around one month into the term

Please click here to see the Payment Plan Policy before setting up this payment plan.

Setting Up a Payment Plan

From the payment screen, fill out the information requested and then head to the bottom of the page and select the option for "Choose a payment plan."

You'll notice a message that reads "No payment plans are available for these invoices." You must select the term where you are applying the payment plan before you can select the plan you prefer.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The dates listed for the "Estimated Future Payments" once you select a payment plan may not be accurate. However, the dates will correct themselves after you select "begin payment plan" such that your first payment will be due on the first day of that term's courses.

Once you've selected the payment plan you would like to apply, simply select "Begin Payment Plan" to complete the process. Your tuition payments will then be automatically withdrawn from the payment method you choose on the indicated dates.

Payment Plan Policy for MAC, MATS, and Certificate Programs

We understand the challenges that paying for tuition can bring about and want to help in any way we can! We are glad to now offer current students the opportunity to apply for payment plans. All students are responsible to set up their own payment plans and follow the pay-by dates accordingly.

Eligibility

Payment plans are only available for students who have no outstanding balance on their account. Payment plans are not guaranteed for all students and Student Success reserves the right to deny payment plan for any reason.

All payment plans must be set up by the student in Populi.

Payment Schedule

The student assumes full responsibility in paying in full by the dates listed and agreed upon, noted on their student account in Populi.

The scheduled payment dates and schedule for all students will be as follows:

• First payment: 33% of tuition due by the close of registration 
• Second payment: 33% of tuition due by the first day of class
• Final payment: 33% of tuition due one month into the term 

To see the respective dates for each term, please review our academic calendar.

Based on the number of courses taken, the chart below lists the scheduled payments to be made as noted above. For example, the following schedules could be used for three-credit courses.

Terms of the Payment Plan

By setting up a payment plan, the student affirms the following statements:

• I promise to pay my upcoming tuition in full by the dates defined.
• I recognize the responsibility to make payments on time rests fully on me as the student.
• I understand that if payment is not made by the dates defined, I will be administratively withdrawn from my course(s) immediately.
• I understand that if I have additional financial aid, my payment plan will be adjusted accordingly.
• I understand that if I withdraw from my course(s) before the withdrawal deadline of the end of the fourth week of class (Saturday), I will be granted a refund in the form of a credit that will remain on my student account for future terms of study. Cash refunds will not be granted. Credits will not be given if I withdraw past the fourth week of courses. Refunds will not be granted outside of a credit for future terms.

Refunds

The online refund policy will apply to any funds paid by payment plans. Dependent on when the student withdraws from a course or is withdrawn by Student Success, a credit for future terms may be given for monies already paid. If withdrawing after the completion of the fourth week of courses, no refunds or credits will be given. Cash refunds will not be granted.
