Payment of Student Account

Any unfulfilled financial obligations a student has from all previous academic years must be settled before registering for a new semester of classes.  When this has been done, the payment of tuition is the final step in the registration process.  Registration is considered to be incomplete until satisfactory financial arrangements have been made with the business office. 

Neither transcripts nor diplomas will be released until a student’s account has been paid in full.

● Students may make payment in full for all charges due, less the processed financial aid (see following important note)* at the time of registration.

Many students receive financial assistance from sources not administered by the college.  Students expecting to receive such financial aid must provide written confirmation to BCE’s business office detailing the following information:

○ Identification of the recipient
○ The amount of financial aid
○ A schedule of payment
   
* Please note:  Financial assistance for students from any source other than the college must be paid directly to the college.  Checks are to be written to the order of Blueridge College of Evangelism and notation made on the check identifying the appropriate student/recipient.

● A deferred payment plan may be arranged, but only after securing college approval prior to registration.  This method requires the following:

○ The student’s balance is the figure remaining after financial aid or
any other deductions have been made. 
○ At the time of registration 30% of this balance is to be paid.
○ The remaining balance is to be paid in three equal monthly
installments, plus applicable fees.

Refund Policy

● Withdrawal from the college

If a student finds it necessary to withdraw from BCE, or elects to vacate, or is dismissed, a portion of his tuition will be refunded in accordance with the following schedule, minus a one hundred dollar ($100.00) withdrawal fee:  A refund will be mailed to the appropriate address after a satisfactory inspection has been made of the on-campus student’s premises and other after the student’s account has been paid.
