Southwestern Seminary Online Tuition and Fees for 2009-2010

The standard fee rates apply to all students unless they are members of a Southern Baptist church. The Southern Baptist Cooperative Program generously provides a scholarship that in most programs pays half the tuition for *Southern Baptist students. Student fee payments vary from student to student depending on the program of study. All student fees are subject to change without notice.

  • Denominational affiliation is determined initially by the church endorsement form submitted with the student’s application to Southwestern Seminary. After admission, denominational affiliation is confirmed by the yearly certification of church membership. Questions about denominational affiliation can be directed to the Admissions Office for prospective students or the Registrar's Office for students renewing their yearly certification.

Refund Policy

Students officially withdrawing through the Office of the Registrar may receive a partial or full refund of tuition and student campus fees as follows:

Fall and Spring Semesters

  • Students withdrawing from classes after late registration and prior to the end of the first quarter of the term will receive a refund of 50% of the per hour tuition fee and 50% of the student campus fee, less a $15 per course drop fee. All other fees are non-refundable.
  • Students withdrawing from classes after the first quarter of the term will receive no refund.

Summer Semester / Winter Term

For a student who officially withdraws from summer classes, the refund of tuition and campus fee only (less the $15 per course drop fee) will be based on the course term dates. The first class day is defined as the first day of any term when classes are offered. It is not necessarily the first day a student attends a class, nor is it the first day a student’s class meets:

  • Day 1 - Day 2 of course term dates .............. 100% of tuition and student campus fee only.
  • Day 3 of course term dates ............................ 50% of tuition only
  • After day 3 of course term dates .................... No Refund

A clerical fee is not assessed for adding classes. Additional per hour fees owed will be calculated based on the total amount due after the schedule adjustment has been made.

Withdrawal from a Course(s)

A student who officially withdraws from a course(s) after late registration is subject to the same refund policy as a student who withdraws from the seminary. The student will pay a $15 clerical fee for each withdrawn course.

No refunds will be made after the deadlines indicated above.
