TUITION AND FEES SCHEDULE AND REFUND POLICY

​

1. SCHEDULE OF STUDENT CHARGES, AND CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY

​

Expenses for students are moderate, in line with the CTS' emphasis on a lifestyle rich in spiritual, cultural, social, and intellectual values, rather than materialism. The approximate costs listed in this section reflect estimated minimal expenses. Prices are subject to change at any time. Students who expect to take more units, keep a car, or travel widely should plan their budgets accordingly.

 

Financial aid should not be expected. CTS students are not eligible for government aid programs. Private scholarship funds are limited. A deferred payment plan allows payment of tuition in three installments over the semester.

​

2. TUITION (This information is for reference only. See 'Institutional Scholarship' on page 34)

​

1) General Tuition

    $ 200 per semester unit credit for Undergraduate course

    $ 250 per semester unit credit for Graduate course

    $ 50 per course audit

Undergraduate students taking 12 or more units, and graduate students taking 8 or more units, for credit during one term may audit one course without charge, on a space-available basis, with the instructor's consent.

 

2) Spouse Tuition

If a student takes courses at $ 200 ($250 for Graduate course) per unit, his/her spouse may audit without charge, or take credit at 30% of the full credit rate, any courses up to the number of units taken by the student from September through the following August. The courses need not be the same nor during the same term. 

 

3) Refund Policy

The student has the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund of charges paid through attendance at the first-class session, or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later.

​

After the cancellation period, the institution provides a pro rate refund of all funds paid for tuition charges to students who have completed 60 percent or less of the period of attendance. Once more than 60 percent of the enrollment period in the entire course has incurred (including absences), there will be no refund to the student. 

​

Application & Registration Fees are non-refundable items. Books issued and received by the student would not be returnable. Once received by the student it will belong to the student and will represent a liability to the student.

​

If you cancel the agreement the school will refund any money that you paid, less any deduction for registration fee and other fees. If you withdraw from school after the cancellation period, the refund policy described above will apply. If the amount that you have paid is more than the amount that you owe for the time you attended, then a refund will be made within 45 days of the official withdrawal date. See refunds section below. If the amount that you owe is more than the amount that you have already paid, then you will have to arrange with the institution to pay that balance. Official withdrawal date is on student’s notification or school’s determination.

 

If a student obtains a loan to pay for an educational program, the student will have the responsibility to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund, and that, if the student has received federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of the money not paid from federal student financial aid program funds.

 

4) Determination of Withdrawal from School

​

The withdrawal date shall be the last date of recorded attendance.

3. HOUSING

​

The CTS does not have dormitory facilities under its control. The CTS has no responsibility to find or assist students in finding housing. Housing in the local area, however, is generally quite affordable and readily accessible. Students are encouraged to find housing in the vicinity of their field ministry assignment.

Assistance in locating off-campus housing is provided by student service center. The office maintains files that contain names, addresses, telephone numbers, rental prices, and other pertinent information about privately owned living accommodations. Listings include rooms with or without board, work in exchange for room and board, furnished and unfurnished apartments and houses, and opportunities to share. Service is limited to maintenance of lists; no rating or inspection service is provided, and the CTS does not arbitrate negotiations between householders and prospective tenants. An estimation of the approximate range of cost for the housing is $1,500 through $2,500 for 1 or 2 bedroom apartments.​​​
