All tuition and other fees are due in full by the first week of each semester. Students are responsible for their own tuition and fees. Men who receive financial assistance need to make the necessary arrangements with their sponsors to ensure this deadline is met.

Students who are unable to pay their tuition and fees in full by the first week of the semester may apply to Shepherds to enter the extended payment plan. A special administration fee is payable.

If a student faces financial difficulties and foresees that he will not be able to pay his tuition and fees on time, he should contact Shepherds immediately so that the appropriate arrangements can be made.
