Explanation of Non-Program Fees
A reservation fee of $250 is required to hold a reservation. The reservation fee is not refundable. The fee is credited toward the first month’s tuition and fees.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, if circumstances change and you are unable to attend BJU for the first semester of the 2020-21 academic year, the fee can be refunded (must notify Admission by Aug. 1, 2020.)
Graduation fees include the cost of the diploma and the rental of academic regalia and are payable in full whether the candidate receives the degree in person or in absentia.
Introduction to College English Fee
A fee will be changed to students with an English ACT score 14 or below who register for En 095 Introduction to College English. En 095 must be successfully completed before the student can register for En 101. If a student challenges his or her English placement by successfully passing the English Placement Test to drop En 095 and register for En 101 prior to the end of the drop/add period, the fee will be waived.
Math Modules Fee (Liberal Arts Math & Math Preparatory)
A math module fee will be charged to students with math ACT score 17 or below who register for the Liberal Arts Math Modules (Ma 080) and to students with math ACT score 19 or below who are in programs that require a math course and who register for both the Liberal Arts Math Modules (Ma 080) and Math Preparatory Modules (Ma 090).
The math module fee is charged at the beginning of the semester the student registers for math modules. If a student successfully passes all pretests for required modules prior to the end of the drop/add period, the student may drop the math modules and the fee will be waived. Additional charges are incurred for students who must register for the math modules (Ma 080) more than once.
Access to math modules is available for a fee to students with math ACT scores above the minimum requirements but whose computational skills need to be further developed or refreshed to be successful and competitive in their chosen program. The fee for optional math modules is charged once the student completes the appropriate pretest(s). Students interested in the optional math modules should visit the Academic Resource Center for more information.
