**Tuition & Fees Due Dates and Late Payment Charges
CBTE Students are invoiced for tuition and fees two or three times each year with payments due on September 1, January 1, and May 1. Invoices will be emailed to the student's @nbseminary.ca email address prior to each payment due date and will include a link for online payment. Tuition & Fees are payable upon receipt of the invoice and before the payment due date. A late fee of 3% will be applied to any outstanding balance at the start of the second month of the term.
