Richmond Campus

HOUSING (2011-2012 academic year rates)

Full-time students are eligible to apply for on-campus housing. Housing rates vary according to size and location. Apartment and dormitory charges should be paid promptly on the first day of each month. A housing deposit of $50 for new students is required to hold the apartment. A damage deposit equal to one month’s rent is required. A key deposit of $25 per key is collected at move-in.

On-campus housing charges are less than Richmond-area standard market rates and include basic utilities.

Dormitory rates range from $306 to $357 per month, depending on size, location, and bathroom facilities.

The following montly rental rates for apartments include all basic utilities except telephone.

LIVING EXPENSES (2013-2014 estimated costs of attendance)

Expenses are based on a single student living in a dormitory room or sharing an apartment.

• New students who begin in the fall term have a nine-month budget.
• New M.Div. and Dual students who begin in the summer with Summer Language School have an 11-month budget.
• Returning students taking Clinical Pastoral Education, Supervised  Field-Based Learning, or Summer Supervised Ministry have an 11-month budget.

For a term of a length, or combination of terms of a length, not listed above, multiply the number of months attended by the one-month budget.

Living expenses for Federal Stafford Loan purposes are determined according to federal guidelines, which do not allow for living expenses for other family members. Only expenses of the student can be used for determining federal loan eligibility. Higher allowances are generally used to determine institutional aid, especially for married students.

HEALTH INSURANCE (2012 -2013 academic-year rates)

All full-time students on the Richmond campus are required to carry health insurance. Full-time international students are required to carry health insurance for themselves and their family members who have accompanied them to the U.S. An insurance plan is available through the Student Life Office. Rates are set in May.
