Students must indicate on their Registration Form which of the following options they will use in paying their fees. NOTE: During the semester, if any student's account is not up to date, they will be required to meet with the Finance Office and/or Registrar and they may be prevented from continuing in their courses. Please note the dates for the various options below:

• Payment in Full
• Students who choose this option must make full payment for all fees on or before the start of the semester. This is the only option available for part-time students who are doing fewer than nine credit hours.
• International students from countries other than the United States of America must pay their tuition and all other fees for both the Fall and Winter semesters by August 1st.
• Deferred Payment Plan
• A Deferred Payment Plan, which is subject to a $50.00 fee per semester, is available for students who are registered in nine or more credit hours. The first payment of 40%, plus a deferred payment fee of $50.00, is due by August 18the. The remaining balance is due in three equal payments on the last Thursday of September, October and November for the Fall semester (i.e. September 29th, October 27th, and November 24th).
• Students who use the Deferred Payment Plan must provide the Finance Office with post-dated cheques or permission to use a Visa or MasterCard so that payments can be processed according to the dates indicated.
• Service charges will be applied to the Deferred Payment Plan if the required payment arrives after the payment date as specified above.
• If any student on a Deferred Payment Plan misses a payment, they will be required to meet with the Finance Office and/or Registrar and may be prevented from continuing in their courses.
  
  
• Canada/Provincial Student Loans
• Students who receive their Canada/Provincial Student Loan documents by the first day of classes can use their student loan to pay their tuition fees. Students should also note that they will need to pay their compulsory fees, Room and Board and Distance Education fees, if applicable, on or before Registration Day (student loans can not be applied toward these fees).
• Students who have not received their Canada/Provincial Student Loan documents on or before the first day of classes, or their student loan is not sufficient to cover all required fees, can do one of the following to pay their fees

Please contact in the Financial Aid Office for further details.

5. Methods of Payment
Cash, cheque, money order, debit card, Visa Card or MasterCard can be used to make payments. Payment should be made payable to Master’s College and Seminary. 

6. Service Charges and Outstanding Accounts
A Service Charge of 1% per month is levied on accounts if students have not paid in full or their payments for the Deferred Payment Plan arrived late. The current Fee Schedule specifies the applicable charges for handling NSF cheques and other returned cheques. Students who have outstanding accounts are not permitted to write final exams, register for courses, graduate, or receive an official transcript, grade report or T2202A Form.

7.   Use the following Fee Schedule to determine the fees that are due this semester:

8.  Tuition Refund Policy
Tuition refunds are provided to students, according to the dates indicated below, providing a Drop/Add Form is submitted to the Registrar’s Office. A Drop/Add fee applies to all courses dropped after the dates indicated. Courses will be deleted from students’ schedule if they qualify to receive a 100% refund. The rebate is processed effective from the date the Registrar’s Office receives the written notice of withdrawal. Students are responsible to check their own schedules for accuracy. They may be held responsible for any associated costs that occur for any errors that are not corrected.

NOTE: You can only use the Fall 2011 Registration Form once. If you want to ADD or DROP a course after submitting your Online Registration Form, you need to use the Drop/Add Form.  A $25.00 fee will be charged for Drop/Add Forms that are submitted after Sunday, September 11, 2011.  See the current College Calendar for specific dates related to the dropping of courses and the assigning of final marks.

9. We recommend that DE students do a maximum of 13 credits hours (four courses and a Mentoring credit). Students who have part-time or full-time jobs will probably need to do fewer courses. Each summer two six-week intensive sessions will be available for students who want to do online courses. Please note that during the Summer semester, the courses are taught in an intensive format (i.e. 12-week courses are taught during a 6-week session and students need to consider this when they are selecting their courses). Please see the Summer 2012 Course Offerings for more information.  Students should note that by only doing 13 credit hours, they may not qualify to receive Government Student Loans since some provinces require that a student do 60% or possibly 80% of the required credits in a program to qualify for a student loan. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact .

10. Due to the high volume of Junk Mail that some email accounts receive, many people configure their accounts to only accept emails from v people they know. Unfortunately each semester this has resulted in a significant number of students, particularly those using Hotmail and Yahoo accounts, to not receive their Course Confirmation Forms. THEREFORE, it is very important that you ensure your browser is configured to accept emails from Master’s. ( , , , , , , and ).  We will be attempting to contact you via your Desire2Learn email account.
