Terms and Conditions of Enrollment By submitting your application to the International College of Metaphysical Theology you agree to the following: 1. Application and Enrollment Your application, whether submitted online, by FAX, or by mail represents a legal and binding agreement to complete your enrollment in a timely manner and subsequently pay your tuition balance as agreed upon official acceptance into the program. 2. Enrollment Agreement ICMT is an Institute of Higher Education. Please do not enroll with ICMT unless you are serious about your education and want to earn a degree that will give you a sense of accomplishment and pride upon completion. Paying your tuition does NOT guarantee conferral of any degree or certificate. You MUST successfully complete and pass the required coursework as outlined by the college. 3. Required Approval for Time-Off In the event that you need to put your studies on hold for more than 3-months or more, your must contact the college in writing to request that time off. With prior approval you may take time off from your coursework to attend to unexpected issues that may come up in your life after your enrollment. Prior approval is necessary so that the college can make the appropriate arrangements with your Course Advisor(s). An unexcused absence (no course work submitted for 3 consecutive months) with no prior approval, will result in your student status being set to "inactive". Inactive students will be required to submit a Reactivation Fee of $250 in order to continue on with their studies. Those that have not submitted course work for a period of 6-months or more (without prior approval) will be considered as having dropped-out of the program. 4. Degree Eligibility For Tuition Payment-Plan Students Those on an extended tuition financing plan for the 3-Degree Program must complete 1/3 of their tuition obligation before being eligible for the Bachelor's Degree - 2/3 of the tuition obligation must be completed prior to becoming eligible for the Master's Degree. Tuition must be paid in full prior to becoming eligible to receive the Doctoral Degree. 5. Cancellation Policy
The Enrollment Fee is non-refundable. The college expends considerable time and effort in organizing your degree program coursework, not to mention the time and personal attention of your course mentor. As such, there are no tuition refunds for payments that have been made to the college. The one exception is for degree programs that have been paid for in full, in which case the college would prorate any refunds as outlined below. Any refunds will include a deduction of a US$300 Administrative Fee to cover associated costs. For example: Withdrawal within 3-days of enrollment: full amount, less $300 Administrative Fee. Withdrawal within two-weeks of enrollment: 90%, less $300 Administrative Fee. Withdrawal within one-month of enrollment: 75%, less $300 Administrative Fee. Withdrawal within 2-months of enrollment: 50%, less $300 Administrative Fee. Withdrawal within 3-months of enrollment: 25%, less $300 Administrative Fee. Withdrawal after 3-months: No Refunds
As with any college program, (when attempting to transfer credit for past college-level work) the amount of credit given, if any, depends entirely on policy of evaluating institution. Just as ICMT reserves the right to determine transfer credit given for a student's past education toward the entrance requirements of our college, other institutions reserve the same right when determining how they will handle transfer credit. If you are planning to transfer credit from ICMT, or any other college, to another specific institution, it is suggested that you contact them in advance to ask about that school's unique policy toward transfer credit. ICMT makes no warranty or representation as to the amount of credit other institutions will allow for course work completed at our college.
7. Tuition Agreement You agree to pay your tuition according to the guidelines of your selected tuition payment plan. Each incoming degree program student that chooses one of the available extended payment options must complete the standard Tuition Contract Form and return it to the college prior to the start of their degree program. 8. Access to the Online Student Campus Website All ICMT students receive access to the private Online Student Center website. As the name implies, the Online Student Center is a private, password-protected resource website for enrolled students of ICMT ONLY. The ICMT Online Campus System is provided as a supplemental service for enrolled students. While we use our best efforts to maintain the campus system to high standards, the college makes no warranty of availability, access, or compatibility for use with your computer system. Students are solely responsible for their ability to access the online campus system. This includes, but is not limited to, knowledge in operating a computer, a properly functioning computer system and a functional internet connection. Occasionally, some businesses or even entire countries may apply network filters which may limit or restrict your access to the online campus system, or other third-party features of the campus web site. The college is not responsible for any such network filtering, whether the filters be in place now - or at any time in the future. 9. Course Books and Materials All costs for required and supplementary textbooks, materials and resources (not otherwise provided by the college) are the sole responsibility of the student. Please note that ICMT currently provides all required Bachelor's Degree program texts (with the exception of one book) in e-book format from the online campus at no additional cost. However, ICMT reserves the right to make changes to book requirements and format at anytime, for any reason - whether as a global policy, or based on other criteria, such as changes in availability, licensing issues, or any other factor that the college deems worthy of consideration. With the advent of new technologies, international students are now able to access most of the required texts in e-book format via services such as Amazon Kindle (for PC, Smart Phone and/or the Kindle reading device). Please read the "ICMT Book Guidelines" document upon enrollment for more details and limitations. For all students: additional ICMT degree program materials are available to students in several formats; including some supplementary reading, e-mail (correspondence from faculty, specialized reading materials and resources, etc.), and via the college's private Online Campus web site, where additional academic resources and administrative forms are available for 24-hour access. ICMT does not charge an additional fee for online access at this time. *** Please note: Due to the fluid nature of licensing arrangements, changes in availability of texts, resources and other materials, etc., ICMT reserves the right to change or modify required course texts, materials and requirements at anytime - with or without prior notice - regardless of the book titles in place at the time of your enrollment. 10. Computer Suitability, Internet Access, Software Issues, Technology Issues, Online Campus access, etc. ICMT is a global distance-learning college that relies on various technologies (computer, internet, e-mail, etc.) for communication, research, resources, assignment submission, grading, and so on. As an Online Student, you are solely responsible for your Internet access, maintenance, repair, as well as any costs associated with your computer, internet access, e-mail, virus protection, and/or any other peripheral equipment that may be required to successfully complete your studies with the college. ICMT may, at times, suggest various websites, software, or other online resources to you in relation to your study, communication needs, etc. The college is not responsible for any issues arising from the use, availability, or inaccessibility of any third-party software, website, computer program, etc. The ICMT Online Campus system is provided as-is, with no warranty of accessibility or availability. There may be occasional unannounced periods of downtime, network outages, maintenance periods, etc. There may be future system upgrades, operating system updates, browser updates, etc., that may require that you install or upgrade software on your computer system in order to continue to access the campus system, or individual component of the campus system. The student is solely responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of their computer system. Extended Payment Terms |
Updated Terms and Conditions for Extended Tuition Financing Plans Changes initiated immediately – Automatic Monthly Online Installment Payments are required unless student has received prior permission from the college. Those on extended tuition payment plans must enter into an automatic monthly credit card billing agreement with the college. It is an easy, efficient and safe way to submit your monthly tuition installment payments. Those without a major credit card (MasterCard, VISA, American Express, Discover) but have a U.S. Checking Accounts may also use automated monthly bank drafts through PayPal. This requires that the student set up a free account with PayPal – http://www.paypal.com Students may choose between having the secure PayPal system automatically deduct payment from their PayPal / Credit Card or Checking Account on a monthly basis – OR- choose to have the College Administration Office process your credit card manually each month. If you choose this option, you must complete the standard Credit Card Payment Form: http://www.metaphysicscollege.com/admin/ICMT-Credit-Card-Payment-Form.pdf Please note that PayPal can and will cancel any recurring installment subscriptions when a funding credit card expires or other account changes are made. If this occurs during your installment term, the Administration Office will create a new installment plan that will continue where your payments had left off. Students are responsible for reinstating their installment plan in a timely manner. Payments by Mailed Check With prior approval only, students who prefer to mail their monthly payments by check may do so under the following provisions. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. We do understand that some students still prefer to send monthly installments by personal check through the postal service. For the college, accepting payments by mail, adds greatly to the administration time and cost required to process tuition payments on a monthly basis. We have therefore initiated the following guidelines for those who choose to send their installment payments to the college using this method: Those who wish to continue to pay their monthly installments by mailed personal check will be assessed an additional $5 processing fee to their monthly installment plan amount to cover college costs associated with handling paper checks. Late charges will accrue on payments not received within 14 days after installment due date . The late fee is $10 for each monthly payment not received within the 14-day grace period. Unless prior arrangements have been made with the college , student account payments not received within 30 days of the installment payment date will be considered delinquent. Payments not received for two consecutive months will cause the student's status to be set to “inactive”. Once a student account has been set to “inactive” status, no further coursework will be accepted, reviewed, graded or applied to the student's permanent record. Within a 6-month period of being set to inactive-status, a reinstatement fee of $250 will be required to reactivate the student's account. After 12-months of being on inactive-status, the student will be required to re-apply to the college. Student accounts with check payments that are returned as non-payable from the bank will be assessed a $20 returned check fee. The above terms do not apply to those paying their tuition in FULL by personal check, with the exception of the returned check fee. Those paying only their Enrollment Fee by personal check via postal mail are also exempt from the above installment-related fees, provided that they enter an automatic online payment plan with the college for the remainder of their tuition balance. |
All online payments are processed securely by the PayPal Business Merchant System. If you have any questions, please contact the Admissions Office: admissions@metaphysicscollege.com
