D. Min. Payment Plan
The "base" program cost per student in the NTS D.Min. program consists of:
- 24 credit hours at the prevailing tuition rate, plus applicable registration fees
- applicable registration fees (see Tuition and Fees at the NTS website for current rates).
In addition, students are responsible for all expenses associated with earning their 6 credit hours of electives (see NTS D.Min. Program Structure).
A student, once enrolled into the program, will be automatically billed for 5 consecutive payment-due-dates beginning with the due date on the first day of the first Residential Seminar (see Calendar).
Payment #1-3 = 6 credits each for the 3 required Residential Seminars.
Payments #4-5 = 3 credits each for the Pastoral Research Project.
Tuition and/or fees for any Elective work done at NTS or in arrangement with NTS faculty during a semester would constitute an additional charge.
Any student who has not completed the program before the sixth payment-due-date will be automatically enrolled in DMN956 "Pastoral Research Project Continuation" and a continuation fee will apply then and be charged for each subsequent payment-due-date until the program is completed. See the NTS website for current rates.
Any alteration of this billing cycle requires action of the D.Min. Committee upon petition by the student.
