Payment Plans

A payment plan is a structured arrangement designed to assist students who are unable to pay tuition in full at the beginning of a trimester. It allows tuition to be paid in monthly installments, according to a schedule established at the start of the trimester.

Students are required to adhere strictly to the agreed monthly payment due dates. If a payment is missed without prior communication and approval from the Finance Office, the student may become ineligible to continue under the payment plan.

Please note that the monthly payment plan is intended to distribute tuition payments throughout the duration of the trimester. It is not designed to defer full tuition payment until the end of the trimester.

General

  1. Tuition fees are subject to change; however, once a student is continuously enrolled in a specific program, VCI will not increase the fees for that program for that student. Re-enrollment in the same program will be subject to the current fee structure.
  2. All fees are payable in U.S. dollars (USD).
  3. Payment details will be provided on the official invoice issued by the institution.

Financial advice

The institution provides access to financial counseling services to support students in making informed decisions about the financial aspects of their studies. Students may require financial advice in relation to:

  • planning tuition payments;
  • managing travel costs associated with their studies;
  • balancing reduced income due to time away from work; or
  • responding to unexpected changes in circumstances such as job loss, illness, relocation, or family emergencies.

Students seeking financial guidance are encouraged to first contact their academic cohort manager for assistance. All inquiries are treated confidentially; however, staff may only provide advice within the limits of their professional expertise and may refer students to appropriate external resources where necessary.

Reduced Tuition

Students need to submit a new scholarship application each time they apply for a degree program.

To support access to higher education globally, the institution may, at its discretion, offer reduced tuition rates to students residing in certain developing countries.

In addition, students in countries subject to either full or reduced tuition rates may apply for additional tuition assistance based on their individual circumstances. Such requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and may take into account factors such as the applicant’s:

  • involvement in Christian ministry
  • engagement with the institution
  • financial capacity, including current income levels and the relative strength of their local currency.

Applicants seeking reduced tuition must submit an Application Form for Reduced Tuition together with their program application. Successful applicants will be notified in writing and all decisions are final.

Reduced tuition is awarded on the condition that students maintain regular attendance, demonstrate satisfactory academic progress, and meet all the program requirements. 

If a student’s financial circumstances change after reduced tuition has been granted, VCI reserves the right to adjust the level of support accordingly.

A new application for reduced tuition must be submitted each time a student applies for a new program.

Financial Aid

As the institution is not registered for Title IV federal student aid, students are not eligible to receive U.S. government loans or grants, and the institution does not participate in any federal aid programs. In addition, the institution does not provide student loans.

Withdrawals and Tuition Refunds

  1. Students must notify the registrar in writing of their intention to withdraw from a program.
  2. Students who withdraw after classes have commenced will receive a pro-rata refund for the uncompleted portion of the trimester. Tuition fees paid for future trimesters will be refunded in full.
  3. If a student withdraws after commencement of classes they will be refunded on a pro-rata basis for the incomplete portion of the semester. Tuition paid for upcoming semesters will be refunded in full.
  4. If VCI cancels a program, students will receive a full refund of all tuition fees and registration fees.
  5. A refund due to a student will normally be processed within 30 days of a withdrawal request, program cancellation, or receipt of the student’s banking details, whichever occurs later.

Overdue Payments

  1. No transcript, diploma or degree will be issued until all outstanding payments have been paid in full.
  2. Students may not enroll in additional trimesters while fees remain overdue.
  3. VCI reserves the right to suspend or discontinue the enrollment of students with overdue payments.
  4. Students experiencing financial hardship or other extenuating circumstances may request a payment extension or alternative arrangement by submitting a written explanation of their circumstances.
