additional expenses

 

Further expenses include the purchase of books and photocopying, and incidental personal expenses such as a phone & long distance plan. Some extra cost may also be involved for Ministry students if the churches at which they are interning require traveling.

All students are required to be protected by appropriate health and hospitalization insurance while in attendance at the University and should ensure that their certificate of coverage is in their possession.

Students taking part in the University’s study terms abroad are also required to be covered by appropriate travel insurance, and the cost will be the student’s responsibility. Students already covered by family or other insurance policies for medical/hospital/accident insurance while traveling abroad should notify the office that they do not need to be included in the supplementary insurance policies.

 

study abroad terms

 

Fees for Study Abroad Terms are normally paid in three monthly installments prior to the beginning of travel.  Due to the costs involved with the program these fees are normally not refundable.

 

same fees for all

 

All students (Canadian, US, foreign) pay the same fees!   All prices are quoted in Cannadian dollars.

 

dates of payment

 

 

Fees for the academic terms are payable in full on or before September 9, 2009, and January 11, 2010. A penalty will be applied in the case of late payment, unless satisfactory arrangements have been made in advance for an extension.

Students may elect to pay their fees for a term in two installments, in which case the first installment must be paid on or before Registration, and a post-dated cheque for the second installment must be issued at the same time. The post-dated cheque will be dated according to the installment dates indicated in the Academic Calendar (which is available on the Programs page). A charge of $150 will be added to the total fees for the term when using this option. There will be a $50 fee for cheques returned for insufficient funds (NSF). Those who prefer to pay by Visa must complete an authorization form or give verbal authorization, which will allow us to process a payment on the dates outlined previously. All charges for one semester must be paid before a student is permitted to enroll for the next semester.

Bookstore invoices are to paid within 30 days of receipt. Failure to do so will result in a carrying charge of $20 per month being applied.

Students with any outstanding balances at the end of term will also not be eligible to receive transcripts, diplomas, or degrees.

about our fees

 

St. Stephen’s University is a non-profit organization.  Approximately one third of the total operating cost of the University – and virtually the entire capital cost – is contributed by individuals, churches, foundations, and businesses in support of the University’s aims and goals. Many people give generously of their financial resources and their professional expertise to make this unique educational experience affordable and obtainable for Christian students. Fees are therefore unusually low for a private, residential program. The fact that students assist in maintenance tasks and meal preparation not only adds to the quality of community life but also helps reduce the University’s operating expenses.
