Tuition and Financial Information

The tuition fees and materials costs for Semlink classes depend on a number of factors: whether you are taking the course for credit or for personal enrichment; whether you are an off-campus student or you have taken a class on-campus. Read through the descriptions below to figure out who you are, and then what the associated costs will be for your Semlink course.

You are an off-campus student if you have yet to take any on-campus classes. Once you have taken even a single on-campus class, you are considered an on-campus student at that campus.

Semlink for Credit: The current cost for a Semlink course is $675 which includes the CD-Rom for the course. On the CD-Rom are the course lectures in MP-3 format and the course notebook in a PDF file.

For the few courses where a CD-Rom is not available the lectures can be purchased on either audio cd's or audio cassettes Ð each costing $40. The course notebook comes printed in a 3-ring binder and costs $25. These materials must be purchased for courses with no CD-Rom.

 

Semlink for Personal Enrichment: Semlink materials may be purchased for personal enrichment. This kind of purchase is open to anyone - both those inside and outside of the Gordon-Conwell community. These materials may be purchased at the Semlink portion of the Ockenga store found at the following link. Please note that students who purchase Semlink Course materials for personal enrichment (not-for credit) will not be able to take that course for credit at a later date.

You are an on-campus student if you have taken an on-campus class at one of the Seminary's four campuses. Even if you are no longer living near campus or are no longer taking any on-campus classes, you are still considered an on-campus student.

Semlink for Credit: Students who are considered "on-campus" pay the regular tuition rate listed in the Gordon-Conwell catalog. Be aware that the tuition rates are different for each of the four campuses (Boston, Jacksonville, Charlotte and South Hamilton). Included in the price of tuition are the course materials on CD-ROM (lectures in .mp3 format and the course notebook as .pdf files).

Semlink for Personal Enrichment: Semlink materials may be purchased for personal enrichment. This kind of purchase is open to anyone - both those inside and outside of the Gordon-Conwell community. These materials may be purchased at the Semlink portion of the Ockenga store found at the following link. Please note that students who purchase Semlink Course materials for personal enrichment (not-for credit) will not be able to take that course for credit at a later date.
