Financial Information

FULL-TIME TUITION
$7,200 annually

Students make a monthly tuition payment of $600, most often through automatic ACH transfer from a checking or savings account. This automatic monthly payment covers all tuition (Fall Semester, Jan Term, Spring Semester, Summer Term) and most fees.

Billing: Tuition is billed to a student’s account on the first of every month. Billing starts the first month a student begins their program (normally August or January) and continues year-round until the student graduates.

Monthly Tuition: Tuition is collected by automatic monthly payment on the 15th of each month. This continues until a student’s balance is paid in full. ACH bank payment, which involves automatic payment from a checking or savings account, is preferred and encouraged. Students (or parents) must complete the Monthly Payment Program form to authorize direct payment of tuition to JWC. NOTE: While monthly plans are encouraged, students may choose to pay annually—one year of tuition in advance of their start date.

Automatic payments to the college stop when a student’s balance reaches zero. Billing to a student’s account stops once academic requirements are complete or when notice of a leave of absence or withdrawal is submitted.

The College considers financial responsibility part of the process of Christlike growth and development, and thus every student will assume responsibility for his/her account.
