Tuition Rate for Cross-Campus Registration
Tuition will be tied to the Gordon-Conwell campus where the degree check sheet is maintained. A student from South Hamilton or Boston may cross-register and enroll in a Jacksonville course, but will pay the tuition rates for the South Hamilton or Boston campus as applicable. Similarly, students from the Jacksonville campus may cross-register and enroll in a course at either South Hamilton or Boston, but still pay the Jacksonville tuition rates.

Tuition Rate for Affiliated Programs
Tuition for courses within an approved affiliated program may vary according to the partnership agreement. Students from these organizations receive special scholarship funding to offset the standard tuition rate. Staffers with Servants In Mission (SIM) and Young Life pay the discounted tuition rate of $864 regardless of the number of courses registered for in a given semester. InterVarsity staff are billed at the rate of $864 per course.
