Degree Completion - Tuition & Fees
The charge for tuition for 2008-09 is $395.00 per semester hour for each semester of the program. Thus for each semester with four 3-credit courses, the tuition rate will be $4,740.00. Tuition for the four semesters of the Degree Completion Program will be $18,960.00. Students will be guaranteed that the tuition rate will remain constant if they continue with the same cohort group. If a student changes to another cohort group a special fee will be charged and tuition rates will become that of the new cohort group that he/she joins. Each semester the student will be charged a Text and Materials Fee of $300 to cover all materials related to this curriculum including providing the student with a Student Guide for each course in electronic form unless the student requests a hard copy, copyright costs, and any other materials needed for the course. In addition this fee also allows the student access to all campus services including the library and the computer center.

Application Fee & Enrollment DepositAt the time of application, the student will be charged a nonrefundable $40.00 application fee. In addition, there will be a $100.00 enrollment deposit charged. The enrollment deposit guarantees the student a place in a specific cohort group and applies toward the tuition paid at the beginning of the first semester. Enrollment deposits are accepted until a group size of 20 has been reached.
Books & MaterialsAt the beginning of each semester students will pay for the cost of textbooks and materials as noted under the “Tuition & Fees” section. Books for the next class will be brought to the final session of each class.
Payment PlanMultnomah Bible College provides a payment plan that allows the student to spread the cost of an entire academic semester over three months. Students who have been approved for this program must pay 40% at registration and then two equal payments (@ 30%) in the next two months to cover the semester’s tuition and fees. Students who wish to participate in this program should apply at the Business Office of the College.
Tuition Reimbursement PlansMany corporations have programs to encourage their employees to complete their education. In many cases, these programs involve tuition reimbursement. When a student’s employer has such a program, the college will assist with a deferred tuition plan. Students must obtain the Tuition Reimbursement Request Form from the Degree Completion Program Office. That form must be completed and returned to the office along with a copy of the employer’s policy and a letter from the employer stating that the employee is eligible for the program. The College will provide a listing of all charges and notification of the student’s successful completion of modular courses or semesters according to the employer’s requirements. If the tuition reimbursement plan covers less than 100%, the student will be required to pay the portion of tuition and fees not covered by his/her employer at registration. If the employer payment involves payment after registration day, the student is expected to pay a minimum of the application fee ($40.00), the tuition deposit ($100.00) and the Text and Materials Fee ($300.00) for the semester at the time of registration.
If the employer’s plan calls for payment at the end of each course or at the end of the semester, the plan must be approved in advance by the Finance Office. The student will be responsible for any amount that is not paid by the employer for any reason.
Tuition Refund PolicyIf a full-time student decides to withdraw from the Degree Completion Program before the end of a semester, the tuition for the semester will be divided into four equal parts. One part will be refunded for each course remaining in the semester. If a student has attended one class meeting of a course before dropping the course, 75% of the tuition for that course will be refunded in addition; by attending two class meetings, 50% would be refunded. If a student has attended more than two class meetings of the five meetings in the course, he/she will be charged for the entire course. There is no refund for the fees charged each student for each semester. Part-time students (1-11 semester hours of credit) will follow the above for any courses not completed. For courses already completed, 100% of the tuition for such courses will be considered earned by the College.
