Tuition & Fees 2009-2010-Graduate Programs

Public and private universities are immeasurably different, particularly in how they are funded. One major difference is that private schools rely on their own financial resources. The State of Minnesota provides no operating tax dollars for operating Concordia University. Tuition and fees make up a great deal of operating budget for Concordia University. (Additional funding is provided by the generosity of donors and gifts supplied by friends of the university.) As a result, every effort is being made to maintain the moderate cost of attending Concordia University. However, unexpected rising costs may necessitate a change in fees at the beginning of any semester.

Once a student enrolls in a cohort, tuition will not change for that student as long as the student is continuously enrolled in that cohort.

Payment of Fees

Fees are due each semester as follows:

Payment Option #1

Payment in full by the due date(s) listed below; reflected on your bill.
*Select this option if Financial Aid is your primary source of funding*
**Term 1 is due on the 3rd week of class.
**Subsequent terms are due by the 1st class night of each new term.

Payment Option #2

Employer Reimbursement plan offers a 30 calendar day grace period from the last night of class.  With this plan, tuition payment is not required until the end of the course, but there is a 1% finance charge applied each month on the unpaid balance.  To qualify, please complete the Employer Reimbursement Agreement form and submit a complete copy of your employer's tuition reimbursement policy. (Note: If your employer/sponsor requires proof of payment before being reimbursed, please select another option.)

 Payment Option #3

TuitionPay, offers the opportunity to enroll in a monthly payment plan that can automatically deduct from your checking or savings acccount each month for the entire duration of your program.  To enroll, pleas access it online at http://concordia.csp.edu/BEARCenter/ and click on Sign up for a payment plan."

Note: Concordia reserves the right to modify your payment plan in accordance with the duration of your program.

Registrations may be canceled and WebCT disabled for registrants who fail to comply with the payment option they select.

Payments not received by the due date will be assessed the 12% annual finance charge, 1% monthly, each month it remains unpaid.

Only those students with bills paid in full  will have access to grades, receive transcripts of credits, and diplomas.

Financial aid is not considered part of the payment until the aid award is granted and transmitted onto the student account. This takes place when the student has completed all the necessary paperwork for receiving financial aid.

All fees must be paid in full before next semester's registration or you will not be allowed to register.

Refunds

Students in graduate programs who discontinue their studies by the end of the second class of Term One may receive a refund, minus the $100 tuition deposit. A student's failure to notify the admission office that he or she will not be attending two weeks prior to the beginning of Term One will result in the forfeiture of the $100 tuition deposit.

Date of discontinuance is determined by filing a Change of Status form with the student's academic advisor. A charge of $75 will be assessed for Change of Status forms exceeding two changes of status per student during their entire course of study at Concordia University.
