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.
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.

Unpaid balances can result in having semester grades withheld, being denied permission to graduate, and denial of transcript requests.
Installment Plan
Students experiencing financial hardship are allowed to pay a minimum of 50% of their total semester tuition and fees at registration. The remaining balance is payable 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.
Tuition refunds will be credited to the student’s account if the student has any outstanding financial obligations to the College. If no financial obligation exists, the student will be issued a refund check. The Business Manager and/or Financial Aid Officer will contact the student once the refund check becomes available.
