Room and Board
A student who has entered into a lease agreement for a seminary housing unit for a term or semester is responsible for payment in full unless written notice that the unit will not be used is given to the Vice President for Business and Finance at least two weeks before the first day of classes. In that case, a 100 percent refund will be made. In other cases, a refund amount may be given upon the initiative of the seminary. A minimum charge of one month's rent will be assessed as a penalty for breaking a lease.
A student who otherwise is required to be on the seminary's board plan, but who has a sufficient medical reason for withdrawing from board status, may be granted a full refund if a written request is made to the Vice President for Business and Finance at least one week before the first day of classes. The seminary's Vice President for Business and Finance determines the validity of an exemption from the board plan, in consultation with the seminary's Food Service Director.
A student who withdraws or drops out of school must vacate seminary housing and cease using its dining facilities or be held liable for room and board charges beyond his or her last date of attendance.
