Tuition & Payment Policy
When tuition is due, how payment plans work, what happens if a payment fails, and which fees apply.
1. Where tuition is published
Current tuition and fees are on the published fee schedule for the 2026–2027 academic year. You can see them before you apply.
Before you pay anything, your enrollment screen shows the tuition being charged, the amount due at enrollment, the date and amount of any future scheduled payments, and the refund and withdrawal terms.
2. What tuition includes
- Program tuition includes the required books and all other required course materials.
- Program tuition is set by study path, not by credit hour.
- Books and other items you choose to buy from the Berean Bookstore are separate from tuition, unless a program or course says otherwise.
- Open Academic Courses have their own price, shown on each course page before checkout.
3. Application fee
There is no application fee. The fee schedule lists an application fee, but a universal waiver covers it for every applicant. You never owe tuition just because you apply.
4. Payment options
- Accelerated Path
- $125 per month · 3 monthly payments · $375 tuition total
- Full Path
- $145 per month · 6 monthly payments · $870 tuition total
The first payment is due when you complete enrollment. Your enrollment screen shows the date of each later payment.
5. Allowing scheduled payments
When you choose a payment plan, you allow Berean to charge each scheduled payment to the card or account you choose. Payments are processed by Stripe. Berean does not store your card number.
To change the card or account used for your payments, email admissions@bereaninstitutes.org.
6. If a payment is missed or fails
- Berean tells you by email that the payment did not go through.
- You have 7 days to make the payment.
- If it is still unpaid after 7 days, your course access pauses. You cannot open your courses or submit work until the payment is made.
- When you pay, your access comes back. Pausing access does not cancel your enrollment or your remaining payments. To stop, follow the Refund & Withdrawal Policy.
7. Other fees
- Term administration
- $50 · When applicable
- Graduation
- $50 · Program completion
The fee schedule lists no late fee.
8. Financial assistance
You may ask to be considered for financial assistance in your program application. Assistance is not guaranteed. An approved award appears as a tuition remission line on your enrollment screen before you pay.
9. Changes to tuition
Berean may change tuition and fees for future terms. Changes are posted on the fee schedule before they apply. A change never applies to a term you have already paid for.
10. Contact
Email admissions@bereaninstitutes.org with any question about tuition or a payment.
