At Saint Vincent Seminary the cost to the student is kept at the lowest possible level consistent with a financially responsible operation. In addition to whatever financial aid is available, the Seminary, in fact, subsidizes each student since the total amount paid for tuition, fees, room, and board does not cover the total cost per student.
The payment of Seminary bills is due each semester upon receipt. Students may not enroll for a successive semester until their accounts have been completely satisfied; no diplomas, transcripts, or records will be issued until all financial obligations have been met.
For students desiring to pay education expenses in monthly installments and/or spreading the expenses over a number of years, payment plans are available through agencies outside the Seminary. These plans are optional and intended solely as a convenience. Persons desiring further information on these payment plans should contact the Office of Admission and Financial Aid, Saint Vincent College, 300 Fraser Purchase Road, Latrobe, PA 15650-2690.

Refund Policy

The policy for refund of tuition upon withdrawal from individual courses or from the Seminary applies only to withdrawals processed on official Seminary withdrawal forms. Note that refunds, if any, depend on the dates noted on official withdrawal forms. A student who feels that special circumstances warrant an exception from established policy may present an appeal to the Academic Dean.

With official withdrawal during the semester, a tuition refund is granted on a graduated scale:
Two weeks or less - 95 Percent
Third to fourth week - 40 Percent
After the fourth week there is no refund of tuition determined by course registration.

Meals - Allowance will be made for meal charge beginning with the first day of the following month.

Room - Except in cases of serious illness, no refund of room charges will be made once a room has been occupied after registration.

Other fees - There is no refund on other fees.
