Tuition & Fees

Changes of Enrollment

Please note: Changes of enrollment (adding a class, dropping a class, or changing the grading option or units) from General Registration through Late Registration are done using WebAdvisor. After Late Registration (the end of the second week of instruction) all changes of enrollment require the use of the paper “Change of Enrollment” forms (if you cannot gain access to the paper form, please contact registrar@sksm.edu). On the form students must obtain the signatures of the instructor offering the course, their Dean, and their Business Office, and will be assessed a fee of $50. No change of enrollment will be permitted after the tenth week of the term, except under circumstances approved by the Dean or an appropriate committee of the student's school.

M.Div. & MASC Tuition

Full-time students pay the overall cost of their degree program over six semesters (M.Div.) or four semesters (MASC), unless the student makes other arrangements with the Dean of Students.  Full-time status is nine or more units.

M.Div. and MASC tuition for students entering Fall 2011 is $10,029 per semester. The overall tuition cost of a degree program is fixed over the course of the program.

Total tuition is set by the year that a student enters study and typically increases each fall. Tuition will not increase for the 2012-2013 academic year.

Students pay a total amount per degree. This amount is shown in the box below under "Totatl Tuition".

M.Div. student programs that extend beyond six full time semesters and MASC student programs that extend beyond four full time semesters incur a per semester continuing fee. This fee is approximately half the tuition rate.

Particular courses may include additional fees for readers, materials or fieldtrips.

Students who choose part-time study (six to eight units) in the M.Div. or MASC programs pay half the semester tuition rate, regardless of the number of units they take. In other words, those who attend three-quarter time, still pay half the tuition. Note that a minimum of six units per semester is required to maintain status in the program.  Students who study part-time throughout their course of study would pay tuition over 12 semesters. Students whose study extends beyond 12 semesters part-time would transition to continuing status and pay the continuing fee.

Tuition must be paid in full before graduation.


M.A. Tuition

The M.A. is a joint Starr King and Graduate Theological Union degree. Because M.A. tuition is set by the GTU, it can change during a student's course of study.

M.A. tuition for students entering fall 2011: $14,400 per year. Students pay tuition for the first two years of residence (full-time status means at least 12 units per semester).

A continuing fee is assessed for each following year. This year the continuing fee is $7,200. GTU thesis filing fee: $150.

Students who choose part-time study (a minimum of three units per semester) in the M.A. program pay per course, according to the Graduate Theological Union fee schedule.

Tuition is payable each semester, upon registration, and must be paid in full by graduation.

Registration

Change of Enrollment for Special Students
Special Students may request from their instructor to be dropped from a class(es) after they have registered. This is generally done during the registration phase of ―early registration, general registration, or late registration. The student is required to send an email to the instructor, copying the Registrar’s office, requesting to be dropped from the course. Any requests to drop a course(s) made after late registration must also be submitted via email to the instructor, copying the Registrar’s office. It is then required that the instructor submit to the student their decision, copying the Registrar’s office. Requests submitted after late registration incurs a $50.00 fee assessed for each transaction. (Drop of a class = $50.00; Add = $50.00. So drop/add = $100.00)
