Tuition Fees
Although tuition fees are chargeable annually, students are only required to pay one term's fees in advance. Tuition Fee payments are due separately from the initial non-refundable Application Fee of £95.00 (Full-time Applicants) or £20.00 (Part-time Applicants).
There is a 10% discount for all annual tuition fees that are paid in full in advance. For instance, in September 2007, Luton Christian College full-time annual fees are £1,755 if paid in full in advance, instead of £1,950. Similarly, the fees for the part-time Monday evening Diploma in Ministerial Studies (for instance) are £324 if paid in full in advance, instead of £360.
Students who cannot pay their full annual fees in advance will be allowed the second option of making three equal payments during the first term in instalments as follows: 1st payment by 31 August, 2nd payment by 30 September and final payment by 31 October.
There is also a third option. After payment of the first terms fees, the balance of fees may be paid by monthly standing order through a local UK bank. This is explained in more detail in the college prospectus.
These are the course fees for the academic year starting in September 2007. Fees are subject to increase each year.

Refund Policy
Note: All prospective students who apply to the college, and their sponsors, will be deemed to have read and understood this refund policy (also contained in the college prospectus), and are therefore legally bound by its terms.
No refunds will be made of Application Fees paid, under any circumstances. This includes those who are refused UK visas from their home country. However, refunds will be made on Tuition Fees paid. Ask for WRR (Withdrawal & Refund Request) Form.
In relation to tuition fees paid in advance, overseas applicants who have paid at least a full Term’s Fees and then withdraw based only on the fact that they were refused a visa (evidence of which must be submitted along with WRR form and original acceptance letter) will be entitled to a refund less an administrative charge of £200.
UK full-time applicants who have paid at least a full Term’s Fees and then withdraw will also be entitled to a refund less the admin charge of £200. However, the WRR form must be returned along with the original acceptance letter that was sent.
P/T Applicants who withdraw using WRR form will receive a refund of tuition fees paid less £100.
The Withdrawal Date is when we receive notification in writing and the completed WRR Form. You must allow up to 6 weeks for authorisation and payment of refunds. We only make refunds to recipients in the UK, not to applicants or sponsors overseas.
No refund of any fees paid will be made after a period of 24 months has lapsed.
