– More College? If you need more space to list your other educational credits and degrees that you would like considered for evaluation, please use a separate sheet of paper. Please Type or Print the information clearly.
– Letters of Recommendation: Please have two letters of recommendation sent to the school: One from your pastor or colleague in ministry and one from a personal friend.
– Transcripts: We need official transcripts from the schools through which you hold all of your degrees and/or credits. Please have the schools mail them directly to CES. Or, you may have them mailed to you, but do not open them. Once transcripts are open, they are no longer official. If you have them sent to you, then you should send all of them together—unopened—along with your application materials.
– Ministry Credits: If you want your full-time ministry to be evaluated for credit, you must enclose a Portfolio. You must download the Sample Portfolio from the Columbia Evangelical Seminary web site at www.ColumbiaSeminary.edu/forstudents/pdf/portfoliosample.pdf and model yours after the sample.

Important: Place a Check on the one appropriate line. Only one for the degree and then write in your desired MAJOR.

Methods of Tuition Payment:
You must check the option you intend to use. If a payment method is not indicated, application is incomplete and will not be accepted.
( ) Method 1. This is the best and least expensive method. If tuition (for the entire degree program) is paid in full at the time of enrollment, the student receives a five percent (5%) tuition discount.
( ) Method 2. Tuition is paid in four equal monthly payments. No discount nor administrative fees. If monthly payments are late, there is a $35 late charge and a 1% clerical fee per month charged on the overall balance.
( ) Method 3. Ten percent down and the balance is paid in monthly payments of not less than $100. Administrative fee of 1% per month on the unpaid balance. Late payments (received after the 15th of the month) will be assessed a $25 late charge, and the late fee is compounded monthly. Any portion of the unpaid balance can be paid off at any time without payment penalties.
( ) Method 4: Part-time Students: One class at a time, with a 20% administrative fee added on each class. To be paid in full at enrollment. (Tuition # 4 is not “locked in” and will change if tuition goes up.) Students have one month per credit to complete the class. Example: a 3-credit class must be completed in three months; a 4-credit class must be completed in four months, etc.

Columbia Seminary reserves the right to make changes in fees, course programs, and all administrative structures described in our catalog and elsewhere without prior notice being given.
