Tuition, Fees & Financial Aid Listed below are 2013–2014 fees applicable to students attending Southeastern. Expenses for food, insurance, travel, and personal needs are not included. Privileges for the use of the library, Ledford Center, recreation facilities, and wireless access are included in the student service fee. Textbooks will cost approximately $100 per class. Because the Southern Baptist Convention strongly supports theological education, gifts from churches through the Convention's Cooperative Program provide the financial foundation for our students. Each year, the Cooperative Program provides significant financial support per student. As a result, tuition and fees are significantly subsidized. For more information concerning scholarships and financial aid, go to www.sebts.edu/admissions/financial-aid/default.aspx. Students must pay their accounts in full or enroll in a payment plan prior to the payment deadline for each semester.
Monthly Payment Plan A monthly payment plan (ACH) is available for Fall, Spring, and Summer sessions. ACH payments are those payments which students authorize FACTS Tuition Management Company/Nelnet to process directly with their financial institution. It is a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that students pre-approve for their tuition expenses at Southeastern Seminary. Students who enroll in a monthly payment plan must complete the online application, may be required to make a minimum down payment of up to 30 percent, and will be charged a FACTS/Nelnet enrollment fee of $25.
Full-Time Status A graduate student must take at least 9 hours to be considered a full-time student. An undergraduate student must take at least 12 hours to be considered a full-time student.
