Tuition Payment & Refund Policy

The Ministry Ordination Program is priced to provide serious biblical and ministry preparation at excellent value. Tuition includes structured coursework, assessments, administrative support, and ordination if applicable.

Application Fee

A $99 application fee is required with each application.

If the applicant is not accepted, the $99 application fee will be refunded by Interac e-Transfer. If the applicant is accepted, the $99 application fee will be applied toward the student’s tuition.

The application fee may be paid by credit card, PayPal, Interac e-Transfer, bank wire transfer, or another approved method. Credit card and PayPal payments are accepted for the application fee only.

When Tuition Is Due

Tuition is due in full upon acceptance.

Students are responsible for ensuring payments are received on time. Email reminders may be sent as a courtesy but should not be relied upon as the student’s primary notice.

All scheduled payments must be received by the 30th day of each month, even if the date falls on a weekend. For February, payment is due on February 28.

Payments received after the due date are considered late regardless of the reason, and a $45 late fee will be added to the balance.

Payment Plan Terms

Payment plans are not automatic. They must be requested, reviewed, and approved before enrollment is finalized.  Once accepted, the student will receive an invoice for the full tuition amount. The student may pay the invoice in full or apply for a payment plan.

If a payment plan is approved, a minimum $500 CAD deposit must be received. The remaining balance may then be paid in up to 10 equal and consecutive monthly payments as approved.

Each payment under the payment plan applies toward the student’s access for the next month of the Program. York St. Peter’s Evangelistic Organization’s main concern is that the student honors the agreed commitment.

If a monthly payment is not received in full by the due date, a late fee of $45 CAD will be incurred regardless of the reason, and the student will lose access to the Program until the missed payment is received within 10 days. This way the student may rejoin a minimum class duration of 2 weeks and still be able to catch up on missed coursework. 

York St. Peter’s Evangelistic Organization does not wish to act as a collection agency and reserves the right to revoke a payment plan if payments are late or missed two consecutive times. If this happens, the full outstanding balance must be paid before the student may continue.

Accepted Payment Methods

Payment methods are based on the student’s location and the type of fee being paid.

As a registered charity, York St. Peter’s Evangelistic Organization prefers secure payment methods that keep processing fees low. Payments are made voluntarily by the student through their financial institution after an invoice has been issued. Students are responsible for sending payments early enough to be received by the due date.

Please note: credit card, debit card, PayPal, money orders, and cash are not accepted for any tuition payments.  

The student is responsible for all sending bank fees, intermediary bank fees, receiving bank fees, currency exchange charges, or any other fees connected to the wire transfer.

Payment Protection Policy

York St. Peter’s Evangelistic Organization does not accept PayPal, credit card, debit card, or other card-funded payments from U.S. or international students for tuition.

Funds must be received and cleared before access is granted to course materials, live sessions, student portals, evaluations, certificates, ordination approval, sponsorship letters, clergy documents, or any other official YSPEO documents.

Payments must be made by the student or by a verified sponsor approved in writing. Third-party payments may be refused unless approved in advance.

The student’s legal name must match the application, payment sender information, government identification, and certificate name. Any name difference must be disclosed and approved before enrollment is finalized.

Chargebacks, payment reversals, PayPal disputes, bank disputes, returned payments, or attempts to recover payment after services have begun may result in immediate suspension from the Program and legal fund recovery practices if necessary.

York St. Peter’s Evangelistic Organization may withhold course access, grades, certificates, letters, clergy credentials, sponsorship letters, ordination-related privileges, and official documents until the account is paid in full and the matter is resolved.

No certificate, ordination letter, sponsorship letter, clergy card, marriage sponsorship document, or official document will be released until all required fees are paid in full and all funds have cleared.

Refund Policy

York St. Peter’s Evangelistic Organization understands that circumstances may change after a student applies or enrolls. However, once a student has been accepted, given access to course materials, and included in administrative planning, costs have already been incurred.

Refunds are based on the date York St. Peter’s Evangelistic Organization receives the student’s written withdrawal request.

All withdrawal requests must be submitted in writing to admin@yorkstpeters.com by email. Verbal notice, non-attendance, missed assignments, failure to log in, failure to participate, or failure to continue payments will not be considered official withdrawal.

If an accepted student sends written notice of withdrawal:

  • Before the Program starts or before access is granted, the student will receive a 100% refund of tuition or deposit paid, less the $99 application fee.
  • Within the first 10 days of the Program start date, the student will receive a refund of 60% of tuition or deposit paid, less the $99 application fee.
  • After the first 10 days of the Program start date, no refund will be issued.

Approved refunds will be issued using a method approved by York St. Peter’s Evangelistic Organization. Any bank fees, wire fees, processing fees, currency conversion fees, or intermediary fees are the responsibility of the student and may be deducted from the refund where applicable.

Failure to attend, failure to complete coursework, change of mind, dismissal from the Program, removal for non-payment, or loss of access due to missed payments does not qualify as official withdrawal and does not create an automatic right to a refund.
