Financial Information

Carver is committed to providing students with a high-quality Christian education at the most affordable cost. As a result, generous financial gifts from individuals and private organizations go toward covering most of the College’s operational outlay, leaving the students to pay for only a small portion of the actual expenses needed to furnish their education.

Tuition & Fees

The schedule of tuition fees is based upon the cost of a student taking a minimum amount of semester hours of course credit - 3 hours - or a maximum amount of semester hours of course credit - 12-18 hours. Fee amounts are also provided for those students who choose to take courses with semester-credit hours totaling between the minimum and maximum allowances.

Financial Aide

Students who qualify may receive some form of financial aid including work scholarships, tuition grants to church workers and on campus employment as outlined in our Financial Aid Handbook. They may also be eligible to receive federal financial aid and loans.

Payment Policy

All tuition, fees and other required expenses aforementioned are payable at the time of registration. All students are required to fulfill all of their financial obligation at the time of registration unless enrolled in the installment plan. The tuition and fees are subject to change based upon the approval of the Board of Trustees with or without notice.

INSTALLMENT PLAN

Students are allowed to pay a minimum of 50% of their total semester tuition and fees at registration. They will then pay the remaining balance in two monthly installments: Fall--October 1st and November 1st; Spring--March 1st and April 1st. Any Student that does not fulfill their agreed upon installment payments will be excused from class and will be assessed a late fee of $25.

DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS

It is the responsibility of each student to satisfy all College related indebtedness. Students who have accounts with unpaid balances will not be allowed to re-enter the College for succeeding semesters. They also run the risk of having their semester grades withheld, and/or having the permission to graduate and request transcripts denied.

Refund Policy

All fees are non-refundable. If a student withdraws from school prior to the end of the semester the following refund policies apply to tuition only:

Withdrawal during the first week 75%
During the second week 50%
During the third week 25%
After the third week 0%

Tuition refunds will be credited to the student’s account when the student has an outstanding financial obligation. If no financial obligation to the College exists, the student will be issued a refund check.
