- Seminary billing policy: Students can access their tuition statement on the student portal after the drop/add deadline each semester. Payment can be made by: 1) Cash, check, credit card, or 2) applying for a Direct Loan by contacting the Financial Aid Coordinator, or 3) a payment plan. Contact Alli VandenBosch to set up a payment plan. A $50 administrative fee will be charged for each semester the student is on the plan, which must be completed in 4 or less monthly payments. Students cannot begin a new semester with balances still due on the previous semester.
