This document will be retained in your permanent file as proof you authorized the transcript be sent. Cost for Transcripts are $15.00 for the first page and $5.00 for each page thereafter.

Housing
Single students desiring on-campus housing should include a deposit of $300.00 with the application. This housing deposit is refundable at the time of graduation or withdrawal if there is no claim against it.
Payment of Account
Any unfulfilled financial obligations a student has from all previous years must be settled before registering for classes. When this has been done, payment of tuition is the final step in the registration process. Note that 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 choose from one of two payments programs:

  1. Payment in full of all charges due, less processed financial aid* 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:

    1. Identification of the receipt
    2. The amount of financial aid
    3. 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 for the appropriate student/reciept.

  2. A deferred payment plan* may be arranged. This method requires the following:

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

    *Please note: To select this plan, a student must have secured college approval prior to registration.
