Each quarter Fuller Seminary provides the flexibility of three different payment options. Carefully review the explanation for each option below and choose the one that best meets your needs.  

If you are registering for courses, including continuation, dissertation, and internship:

Option 1 – Full Payment (no Fuller Financial Aid)

Pay any prior balance before registering. Pay all new tuition and fees by 4pm PST the first Monday of the quarter/ DMiss term/DMin class. Additional charges incurred after the deadline are due immediately. 

A $250  Late Payment Fee  will be assessed if your balance is not paid in full by 4pm PST the first Monday of the quarter/term.  

The seminary accepts cash, check, electronic check (ACH), and MasterCard^® and VISA^® credit cards for payment. Arrangements to use Americorps, VA or GI Bill benefits for payment must be made with the Student Financial Services Office prior to registration.  

Option 2 – Full Payment by Fuller Financial Aid 

If payment of all tuition and fees for the quarter is to be made by a Fuller grant, scholarships, and/or federal student loans, you must pay any previous balance due prior to registering. You must have a current and fully processed Fuller financial aid application on file in order to use this option. If your Fuller financial aid is not sufficient to pay for your tuition and fees in full, you must either pay the difference by the due date or sign-up for a Fuller Tuition Payment Plan (see Option 3 below). 

A $250  Late Payment Fee  will be assessed if you do not sign-up for a payment plan or your remaining balance is not paid in full by 4pm PST the first Monday of the quarter/DMiss term/DMin class. 

Option 3 – Fuller Tuition Payment Plan  

If you cannot pay in full at registration and would like the convenience of making monthly payments, you may sign up for a Fuller Tuition Payment Plan (FTPP). Plans are administered directly by the Student Financial Services Office. If you choose this option, you must pay any previous balance in order to register.  

Signing up for a FTPP allows you to pay that quarter’s tuition and fees in monthly installments over a period of one or two months, depending on when you register and sign up for the plan. The nonrefundable quarterly fee for this service is $40, and no interest is charged. Payments are made directly to Fuller via automatic withdrawal, mail, or online. Payments are due on the 5^th of each month and a fee of $35 is charged for each late payment. 

After registering for classes, you may sign up for the FTPP online through Portico. When you sign up, your balance due (tuition and fees less any expected Fuller financial aid) for the quarter will be calculated. Your payment plan balance will be updated regularly to reflect registration changes, payments or any other activity made to your student account. A notification email advising you of any changes to your plan will be sent to your Portico email account. 

The Student Financial Services Office can also assist with any questions about your balance or payment plan.  

If you are not registering for courses, but you have Fuller Student Health Insurance or an unpaid balance: 

Option 4 – Full Payment

The seminary requires full payment of health insurance and all other charges by 4pm PST the first Monday of the quarter if you will not be registering for courses during the quarter. Additional charges incurred after the deadline are due immediately.You must also pay any previous balance on your student account. 

The seminary accepts cash, check, electronic check (ACH), and MasterCard^® or VISA^® credit cards for payment. 

Please be aware that the alternatives listed above are the only options available.  As such, you should decide as early as possible which option best suits your needs, and sign up or make payments accordingly.
