A. Tuition Status: Tuition must be paid in full prior to the delivery of any degree certificate or as
in this case the ministry credentials of licensing and ordination.

B. Tuition Refunds: The THBI Tuition Refund Policy governs any tuition refund concerns for an
Ordination Preparation Study Course student.
1. Student Withdrawal - - Tuition fully paid, or amounts paid in advance, will be refunded on
a pro-rata basis based on calendar months remaining in the Program for any student who
follows the “Student Withdrawal Policy”.
2. Student Failure - - No tuition nor any portion thereof is refunded for failed students as
tuition does not pay for the degree nor do we guarantee success in a student’s studies.

3. Student Dropout - - No tuition refund, regardless of payments made, will be issued for any
student who “drops out” as per the THBI Student Termination Policies.
C. Re-enrollment After Termination: Students who submitted proper written notice of
withdrawal may be considered for re-enrollment, depending upon the circumstances for
withdrawal and shall be considered on a case by case basis.
V. Student Suspension

A. Non-Submission: Failure to submit a completed course exam within a period of 60 calendar
days, without prior approved notification from the student to the True Hope National Offices,
shall result in that student being suspended from enrollment.
B. Notification: Student shall be notified of “Suspended Status” and shall have a maximum of 30
calendar days to submit the course exam due at the beginning of the 60-day period. Failure to
meet this requirement shall result in the Final Termination of Student Status with no further
notice.
1. Submission Refusals Should a student attempt to submit the past due course exam after
“Final Termination” has become effective, said course or courses shall be refused for
processing.
Example: Student submits 4 course exams. Course Exam #5 is not submitted at the time
due. 60 calendar days then pass. The student then has 30 calendar days from the
date of the “Suspension Notice” (regardless of when the student actually reads the
notice letter).
Should the student fail to submit a course exam within the 30-calendar day
suspension period, that student shall be terminated and considered to be a drop-out
and will not be given any further consideration.
C. Re-enrollment: Students must make written request for consideration for re-enrollment into the
Ordination Study Program.

1. Approval - - Students approved for re-enrollment must enroll as new students and must meet
the requirements and pay the tuition that is in effect at the time of their re-enrollment.
a) No credit is given for past studies or for prior tuitions paid for re-enrolling students.
2. Denials - - Students who dropped out shall not be considered for re-enrollment, regardless of
the circumstances.
