Computer and Technology Fee

Computer and Technology Fee

The general computer and technology fee of $100.00 per term allows all students full access to theological journals through Galaxie Theological Journals and access to the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) which supplies full-text books, bibliographic material, and abstracts across a multiplatform of academic subjects. Students also receive a student email account. Additionally, this fee is used to maintain the Student Information System and its student portal access along with the Learning Management System (Canvas) that provides each student with online access to grades, attendance, student financial accounts, as well as other vital services.

Payment Schedule

  • 50% of Tuition and fees is due by Thursday of Week One
  • 25% of Tuition and fees is due by Thursday of Week Three
  • 25% of Tuition and fees is due by Thursday of Week Six

A student who has not made the first installment of tuition and fees owed by noon on Thursday of Week One will be made inactive in Canvas and will not be reactivated until the first installment is received. If payment is not received by the end of the drop/add period, the student will be unregistered from their course(s) and all refundable charges will be reversed. Tuition and fees for the last term must be paid in full before a student will be allowed to register for a new term. Courses for which tuition and fees have not been paid will receive a grade of "Incomplete" until they are fully paid.
