1 The enrollment deposit serves as a confirmation of a student’s plan to enroll and is applied toward charges on the student account for the upcoming semester. Deposits are due by May 1 for the fall semester, November 1 for the spring semester, and within ten days of acceptance for students who have been accepted after the deposit deadline. Deposits are only refundable if a request is made in writing to the business office prior to the due date.

The deposit will be refunded when the student ceases to be a resident student (e.g. moves off-campus, terminates enrollment) providing that all housing policies have been adhered to properly and any and all related fees/fines have been paid. 4All returning students who wish to reserve on-campus housing for the following year must submit a $250 deposit with a completed housing application. This deposit will be applied to room charges for the fall semester. Deposits are only refundable if a request is made in writing to the business office prior to June 1st. A $25 late fee applies for deposits received after June 1.
Charges for the current semester must be paid in full before registration for the following semester.
Cost of Attendance
Financial Aid eligibility considers both direct costs (tuition, fees, on-campus room and board) and indirect costs (books and supplies, transportation and miscellaneous personal items). Those combined expenses equal the student’s Cost of Attendance (COA). Tuition, Room & Board, and fees are listed above. Books and supplies can range from $1,000 to $1,500 depending on the course taken, transportation ranges from $2,093, and miscellaneous personal items can range from $2,0385 to $3,884 depending on if a student lives on or off campus, with parents or without.
Financial Aid
Providence Christian College provides financial assistance through scholarships, grants, loans and student employment opportunities. A high percentage of Providence students will receive aid to help them pay for the cost of their education. All students who wish to be considered for financial aid are required to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Virtual Financial Aid Office (VFAO) Financial Aid Interview, which is located in the financial aid section of the Providence Christian College website. These tools help the College assess each student’s financial need. In addition to those listed above, students who are pursuing scholarships and certain grants must fill out the appropriate scholarship and grant applications. Financial aid applications must be completed by March 1 to receive the maximum financial assistance available. All students must reapply every academic year for financial aid. Providence Christian College follows procedures approved by the US Department of Education in packaging financial aid from federal, state, and college sources.
