Spousal Discount Plan
Not available at this time
Restrictions
1) The spousal discount plan is effective only if the tuition discounted spouse enrolls in the program within 30 days of the enrollment of the paying spouse.
2) If a paying spouse withdraws from the school, the tuition discounted spouse must also withdraw or convert to a paid program.
Tuition must be paid in full within 24 months even if the student has not completed all coursework required to receive their degree. The cost of tuition that is applicable to the degree program, in which you want to join, should be sent along with your application or at the same time. Your application will be processed, and the Admission Letter will be sent only after the receipt of your Tuition in full or based upon your monthly payment arrangements!
Monthly tuition is due on or before the 5th of each month. However, if the student fails to make his/her required payment on the scheduled date, a late fee of $25.00 will be implemented. Failure to make monthly payments for two (2) consecutive months will be grounds for expulsion from the Degree Program the student is enrolled in. If the student is expelled for financial reasons, he/she may appeal and seek reinstatement. However, the student, once expelled for financial reasons, will be required to pay the outstanding balance in full, including late fees and reinstatement fees. Please contact us if you are having financial difficulties.
We accept credit card, checks, PayPal, cashier’s checks and cash as acceptable forms of payment towards tuition or mail to corresponding address. All academic program requirements and financial obligations must be met before any certificate, diploma, or degree will be awarded.

TUITION PAYMENT PLANS
Tuition is payable at the start of each class. No student will be considered officially enrolled until the registration and tuition fees have been paid. A student can make a full tuition payment toward their complete program or make arrangements for an installment agreement.
In order to qualify for an installment payment agreement and begin a degree program, the student must make the required minimum down payment and agree to make monthly tuition payments in alignment with the start of each class. Tuition payments must be received each calendar month until tuition is paid in full. Neither diploma nor transcript will be issued until the student’s obligation has been paid in full. All students must conform to their payment agreements.
Convenient payments of your education is available through PayPal by MasterCard®, Visa®, Givelify and Zelle.
Refund Policy
Because the majority of courses through Greater Love School of Ministry are offered via distance education such as Zoom, online study modalities, and/or correspondence, we do not issue refunds for any reason. Should a student wish to cancel their program at any time, we will cancel all further tuition obligations without penalty. If a student pays for a course and can reasonably articulate to the Instructor why they feel they are entitled to a refund, monies will be refunded at the discretion of the individual Instructor and President of the school.
Tuition Agreement
Students are required to sign the Greater Love School of Ministry Tuition Agreement upon entrance into their first class as a part of the application and registration process. The agreement is a contract signed by the student and a school official that gives information on costs, rights to cancel, and the refund policy.
Student Loans
Greater Love School of Ministry does not participate in Federal or State Student Loan Programs or Financial Aid. Students are responsible to repay the full amount of any private loans plus interest. Refunds are not applied to private loans but are returned directly to the student. A student enrolled in an unaccredited institution is not eligible for federal financial aid programs.
Course Materials
Course materials will be mailed to the student every 4 weeks after monthly tuition has been paid. If the student does not complete a course within the 6 weeks allotted time, they will receive an interim grade of I (Incomplete). The student will still be allowed to finish the work for each course, however the grade of “I” will stand until the finished work is submitted for grading. Once graded, the student’s final grade will be recorded.
It is ultimately the student's responsibility to obtain course materials so that they may finish the work. Once the student has received the syllabus or class is made available to student, they are considered enrolled in the course and have received complete course instruction enabling the student to finish the required work for grading.
SCHOLARSHIPS
There are no scholarship options available at this time but we encourage that students will reach out to their local parish for ministry support. Scholarships or financial support often is available from the local church you may attend.
There may also be special program discounts available from to time and also special consideration for students based on financial hardship.
