International Students

Applicants from outside the United States are required to supply support for sponsorships together with twelve months of bank documentation for all personal & family funds. These documents should prove financial ability to sustain educational expenses for the duration of the educational program, prior to the issuance of the I-20 form, to secure a U.S. student visa. Additionally, international students, excluding those from Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada and Mexico (graduate and undergraduate), are required to remit a $9,100 plus payment in full for the first semester.

•     $3,000 of the $9,100 will be held in an interest-bearing account until program is completed or withdrawal.
•     The deposit may only be used to cover educational expenses for the last semester of enrollment.
•     $100 is posted to the student account as a non-refundable new student International fee.
•     $6,000 will post to student account as down payment for first semester.
•     MDiv and CEIP are exempt from advance payment.
•     Full semester expenses less any scholarships & discounts will be due prior to registration.
•     Non-CIEP tuition is calculated at the normal per credit rate for undergraduate or graduate classes.
•     The maximum a CIEP student will be charged is the normal tuition charge of his or her respective program.
