Tuition and Costs - College of Adult & Professional Studies

When is my payment due?

Tuition is charged on a per-credit basis and varies based on the program of study. Tuition is billed on the student account once he/she has been registered for their course(s). Full payment is due at the beginning of each course. The student is responsible for payment reaching the Business Office when due, regardless of the source of payment. 

Current charges, as well as future charges, are listed on the monthly billing statement. A finance charge of one percent per month is assessed on any balance more than 30 days old. Enrollment for succeeding terms is dependent of full payment of the previous term’s expenses.

Monthly Statement

Students will receive monthly statements online through Bethel’s internal website, Blink. On approximately the 17^th of each month, students will receive an e-mail alerting them their monthly statement is available to view, with access instructions. The online monthly statement will include any previous balance, an itemization of the monthly activity, and the current balance on the student account. It will be the student’s responsibility to share this important information with parents, a spouse, or others who may be making payments on the account. Visit Authorized Users for further instructions.

Student Loans

If loans are needed to help meet their financial obligation, the student may apply for them through the Office of University Financial Aid. Loan applications should be made well in advance of registration for funds to be distributed at the beginning of the term.

Employer Tuition Reimbursement

Employer tuition reimbursement is NOT considered a payment option. The student is responsible for payment reaching the St. Paul Bethel University Business Office when due. It is the responsibility of the student to receive reimbursement from his/her employer for charges that have already been paid. Upon the student’s request the Business Office will send tuition reimbursement invoices to the student, during the week that the course ends. The student presents the invoices to his/her employer for reimbursement.

You may contact the Business Office to request tuition reimbursement invoices.
