Payment of Fees

GTU Common MA students pay their tuition and fees to the business office of their school of affiliation.
Payments to the GTU for each term must be received by the GTU Business Office no later than the Friday at the end of the second week of classes. Failure to pay fees or to arrange a payment schedule by this deadline will result in having your registration cancelled. Checks should be made payable to “Graduate Theological Union.”
