THE COST OF EDUCATION AT THE INTERDENOMINATIONAL THEOLOGICAL CENTER

The ITC is aware that the cost of an education is a major expense for a family and makes every effort to keep its tuition and fees as reasonable as possible without sacrificing the quality of its program. The tuition and other fees paid cover only a small portion of the cost to provide quality theological education.  The balance of the cost is met through gifts from individuals, foundations, and friends of the institution.  A major portion of the cost is paid through affiliation fees by its constituent seminaries. The ITC has an endowment that has been invested for the purpose of earning income. This income is also applied toward the cost to provide a quality theological educational experience.

STUDENT EXPENSES

Student expenses at The ITC are moderate. The fees mentioned in this Catalog are subject to change by action of the Administration and/or the Board of Trustees.  Any changes will become effective as of the date set by the Administration or the Board, and students will be informed in writing concerning the changes.

PAYMENT POLICY

The registration of a student signifies the assumption of a definitive obligation among student, constituent seminary, and The ITC.  It is an agreement by all parties to fulfill the terms of the registration contract. A student's registration is not complete until satisfactory financial arrangements are made for the payment of charges with the Business Office. 

Payment of expenses may be met in a variety of ways, such as institutional and/or denominational tuition grant, other grants or loans, cash payment, institutional payment plan, or through a financial service agency that will ensure that the balance due at registration is forthcoming.  If other grants or loans are anticipated, written verification of these funds from their sources must be presented at registration. 

All outstanding bills and current charges for The ITC are payable in full at the beginning of each semester.

A STUDENT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO REGISTER FOR ANOTHER SEMESTER, WILL NOT BE GRANTED A DEGREE, DIPLOMA OR CERTIFICATE, NOR WILL BE FURNISHED A TRANSCRIPT OF RECORD FOR ANY PURPOSE, UNTIL THE SETTLEMENT OF FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS.
