PAYMENT OF BILLS

PTS partners with Flywire to facilitate international online payments. Accounts not paid in full on or before the first day of the semester will be assessed a $25 late fee each month.
Deferred Payment: Provides a plan for students who are unable to pay the semester charges in full at registration. A $50 deferred payment fee is added to the student account and the balance is divided into three (3) equal monthly installments. The first payment is required on the first day of the semester. Payments made after the specified dates will be subject to a $25/monthly late fee.
Special Arrangements: Arrangements for billing to a third party (Church of God World Missions, employers, cohorts, etc.) must be made prior to registration with the PTS Business Office.
All tuition and fees are due and payable in full by the first day of the semester. Students whose accounts are not current will not be allowed to register for subsequent classes and will be denied request for transcripts and diplomas.
TUITION REFUND POLICY
It is the student's responsibility to officially drop/withdraw from a course by completing a Drop/Add Form, which can be found in PTS Forms. Failure to do so will result in the student not receiving a refund. Failure to attend classes does not guarantee a refund. If a course is dropped and a substitute course taken, there is no charge other than the drop/add fee. When a course is dropped (or withdrawn from) and no substitute taken, the following refund policy will apply. All fees including Add/Drop Fees are due unless all courses are dropped before the first day of class.

DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS
PTS begins in-house collection procedures on the outstanding account balances of students who have not made payments for at least 30 days. This procedure involves a series of letters, emails, and/or telephone calls from the PTS Business Office.
If at the end of 120 days the account has not been paid in full or satisfactory arrangements have not been made to pay off the debt, the account may be referred to the Seminary's collection agency. A student whose account has been referred to outside collection agencies will be required to pay all legal and collection costs in addition to the outstanding balance. These costs can be an additional 40-60% of the unpaid balance.
A student with a delinquent account is ineligible for additional enrollment until the account balance is paid off.
