Tuition Guarantee
As part of this commitment, CCBC offers a Tuition Guarantee:
When you enroll, your tuition rate is locked in for the duration of your degree program, provided you maintain continuous enrollment.
- No annual tuition increases on tuition rates.
- The tuition rate you start with is the tuition rate you finish with.
The CCBC Tuition Guarantee reflects our desire to honor the step of faith you are taking today, while also stewarding the college’s future for generations to come.
Tuition Guarantee FAQ
What counts as continuous enrollment?
Continuous enrollment means enrolling in:
- On-campus students: At least 6 credit hours each fall and spring semester.
- Online students: At least one course each term (with two terms per semester).
Summer terms are optional and do not affect your continuous enrollment status.
What happens if I take a semester off?
If you take a fall or spring semester off without an approved leave of absence, you will forfeit your Tuition Guarantee.
When you re-enroll, your tuition rate will adjust to the current published rate at the time of your return.
Note: If you need to pause your studies for medical, military, or other serious reasons, you may request a formal leave of absence through the Registrar’s Office to preserve your tuition guarantee.
What if I switch degree programs?
If you switch from one degree program to another (for example, from the Associate of Biblical Studies to the Bachelor of Biblical Studies) without breaking continuous enrollment, your Tuition Guarantee remains in place.
Your locked-in tuition rate will carry over to your new degree program.
Does the Tuition Guarantee cover fees, housing, or meal plans?
No. The Tuition Guarantee applies only to tuition rates.
Other fees (such as registration or technology fees), as well as housing and meal plan costs, may change over time and are not included in the tuition guarantee.
Payment Plans
To ensure that students can afford their education without experiencing excessive financial stress, we offer three different payment plan options for semester tuition and fees. These options are designed to provide flexibility and support, allowing students to manage their expenses in a way that works best for them. A payment plan application will be available after your admissions application has been accepted. *Payment plans reflect fees for a full-time, on-campus semester.
1. One Payment (100%): Paying in full, no plan required.
2. Two Payments ($25 plan fee).
3. Four Payments ($50 plan fee).
All charges in payment plans are to be paid according to contract dates. If payments are late, a $25 late fee will be added to the account balance.
Financial Aid
While our main approach is to offer one low cost of attendance for all students, some financial aid is available on a limited basis for those who demonstrate a need.
Additionally, you may be eligible for a Calvary Chapel Pastor & Missionary Scholarship if you or your parent is a full-time pastor, ministry leader, or missionary in a Calvary Chapel ministry.
If you believe you qualify for tuition assistance and your general application for admission has been accepted, you will have access to complete the financial aid application.
To get more information on the specific eligibility requirements for these financial aid opportunities, please review the Scholarship Details PDF. If you have additional questions after reviewing the PDF, please contact Student Billing at: tuitionandfees@calvarychapel.com.
