Tuition and Fees
Information related to tuition and fees is listed in the University Catalog and on the website under Admissions > Tuition and Costs.
Payment Schedule
Students must pay tuition online through the convenient, secure payment system on Populi, our learning management system. A payment link is in Populi under your profile, financial tab. The university invoices students for all course enrollments each trimester and or module, which represents a 16-week period (trimester) or per module (3 8-week modules).
Tuition must be paid in full by the first day of each course, or a payment plan must be set up within Populi.
Payment Plan by Trimester or Module
This is a 0% interest-free plan... and will need to be done in every trimester. If payments are late, the billing manager will notify you. If you are more than 3 days late, your course may be locked.
Students can set up a payment plan through the Populi portal by logging in to Populi, open your dashboard, then opening the financial page, and selecting "Make a Payment." Enter all your information, then Choose No next to "Use Payment Plan" to make a full payment, or choose Yes, click on "all available" module(s), then select one of the plans below.
Pay 4 monthly payments due date-1st payment due the day before the module, then 3 monthly payments
Pay 4 monthly payments today- pay one now, then 3 monthly payments
Pay 2 payments due date- one now and the other in 60 days
Pay 2 payments today - one day before the module and the other in 60 days
Pay 2 payments due date- one now and the other in 30 days
Pay 2 payments today - one day before the module and the other in 30 days
Pay 7 semi-monthly payments, one now and the others every 15 days (basically twice a month for 3 months)
Pay 12 consecutive weeks one day before the module, and the others every week
These are set up for trimester billing. If you are using it just for the third module, please keep in mind that it needs to be paid by the end of the course, so you may select the payment now and pay within 30 days
This will allow you to make payments for all trimester courses within a 16-week period. Which need to be paid in full before staying enrolled in the next trimester
The billing manager can help with calculations and or any changes you may need.
Do you have a benefactor? Just under the make payment “is someone else is paying”, which gives you a direct link to share with whoever's paying without having them log in.
If late by more than 3 days your course may be locked. Billing manager can help with calculations and or any changes you may need.
Calvary Chapel University does not participate in federal or state financial aid programs at this time.

Withdrawal Requests
Fees are non-refundable. Refunds are assessed from the date a student submits a Drop/Withdrawal form to the admissions office, not from the date they stop participating in courses. Official Drop/Withdrawal Forms are available from the admissions office or may be processed online.
University-Canceled Programs or Courses
If the university cancels an educational program or course, it will allow the student to transfer to a comparable program or course. If a student chooses not to transfer, the university will provide the appropriate credit.
Refund Requests and Issuance
Refunds will be issued within 30 days of the date of student notification, or date of school determination (withdrawn due to absences or other criteria as specified in the school handbook or catalog). A Refund Request Form must be filled out before the refund is issued to ensure the correct contact information is on file to issue the refund.
University-Initiated Withdrawal
The university may withdraw a student from the program at any time for academic reasons or misconduct that violates the mission or vision. The university shall notify the student in writing and cite reasons for withdrawal. The student shall be notified immediately upon the university’s decision. The effective date of the withdrawal will be on the letter mailed to the student.
The university maintains a cancellation and withdrawal log that includes students’ names, addresses, telephone numbers, and dates of cancellations or withdrawals.
Other Cancellation Policy
An applicant requesting cancellation in any manner, more than 72 hours after signing an enrollment agreement and making an initial payment, but prior to the first day of a course, is entitled to a refund of all monies paid minus the application fee.
University Exit
A university exit is interpreted to mean that you intend to cancel all enrollment in any courses you are enrolled in, and leave the university with no intention of returning to your studies at the time the form is submitted. Simply dropping courses or non-attendance does not constitute an official withdrawal. If a student decides to formally exit the university, the student must complete the Calvary Chapel University Exit Form or the University Exit Form located on the Calvary Chapel University website under Student Resources and Forms. Refunds are assessed from the date an Exit Form is received based on the chart under “Tuition Refund/Credit After the Start of Course” section in the catalog.
Course Withdrawal Policy
A student may withdraw from or drop a course by completing a Course Withdrawal Form which will notify the Director of Admissions (pamela@calvarychapeluniversity.edu). A course withdrawal form is also located on the Calvary Chapel University website under Student Resources and Forms. The official course withdrawal date will be the date the student submits the course withdrawal request to the Director of Admissions. A credit for tuition costs will be given to the student’s account based on the withdrawal chart located under Tuition Refund/Credit after the start of the course section.
Credit and Debit Card Authorization
Completion of a payment transaction is contingent upon both the authorization of payment by your credit or debit card company and acceptance of your payment by our third party administrator. Credit card or debit card reward programs, as applicable, may vary by card issuer and by authorization method. When using this service, it is your responsibility to check in advance with your card issuer to determine the eligibility of your payment for specific reward applications.
