  • For M.A. students in thesis, the continuing registration fee is one-half tuition for the M.A. program, payable to the school of affiliation.

Tuition Refund/Forfeiture Policy: Students formally withdrawing from the school or from individual courses will forfeit tuition for courses dropped at the following rate:
Within the first two weeks of any semester full refund
Within the third to fifth weeks of any semester half tuition refund
After the fifth week of any semester no refund
An exception to the above refund policies is for students who receive Federal Title IV Financial Aid (such as a Federal Stafford Loan), and withdraw from school. In the 2000-2001 academic year, we implemented a new Federal Refund/Repayment Policy, mandated in the Higher Education Act. Students receiving loans will receive a notice of this policy at the time they pick up their checks from the JSTB Business Office. Information is also available on the website of the Graduate Theological Union, under Financial Aid: www.gtu.edu. (A copy of the policy notice may also be included in the JSTB Information Book.)

Payment is due by the late registration deadline. Payment must be in U.S. dollars. Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards will be accepted, as well as checks which are drawn on U.S. dollar accounts.

Resolution of all school or GTU-related financial accounts must be made before a diploma or official transcript will be issued.

Health Insurance: JSTB students are eligible for medical benefits through the Health Insurance Plan for Students (HIPS), offered through the Graduate Theological Union.

Eligibility: Any student enrolled for 6 or more units in a semester is eligible to participate in the GTU HIPS health insurance program. Any student enrolled for 9 or more credits in a semester must have health insurance, either the GTU HIPS or a health insurance plan of comparable benefits. Students who are required to carry health insurance but carry their own plan should bring proof of coverage (insurance card or policy) to the JSTB Business Office at the time of registration.

Options: The GTU HIPS provides two plans, a comprehensive insurance plan and a basic plan. Student dependents may enroll in either plan, but must participate in the same plan as the enrolled student.

Details on the two plans and rates for coverage are available from the JSTB Business Office.

Tuition and fees are subject to yearly increases.
