Tuition and fees are billed two weeks prior to the beginning of each session. All balances must be paid on or before the first day of class unless another payment arrangement has been made with the Office of Student Financial Services.
The Office of Student Financial Services accepts the following forms of payment:
Please be sure to include the student's name and ID number on the check or money order. A fee of $25, in addition to any late payment fees, will be charged for any dishonored check. Foreign check collection fees will be charged when applicable.
If payment cannot be made in full, a student may be eligible for either the Tuition Deferment Plan or Financial Aid.
The Tuition Deferment Plan requires a payment of 25% of tuition for the course prior to the first day of class, and allows the student to defer the remaining 75% until 30 days after the course has ended. A complete description of this financing option can be found on the Payment Options page.
To apply for financial aid, a student must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and an Emmanuel College Application for Financial Aid for Graduate & Professional Programs students. More information can be found on the Financial Aid Applications page.
To be considered for most federal and state financial aid, a student must:
To withdraw from a course, please contact the Registrar's Office by telephone (617-735-9960), fax (617-264-7705) or by email. Non-attendance does not constitute withdrawal from a course; students must contact the Registrar's Office to officially withdraw. Failure to do so will result in the student being responsible for the cost of the course. More information on course withdrawals and the tuition refund policy is available here.

No, our online programs are asynchronous, meaning you don’t have to log in to courses at a specific time.
Our online classes are asynchronous, meaning that you don’t have to log in at specific times to complete your studies. Classes are only seven weeks, so you can concentrate on one or two courses at a time instead of four or five.
The time it takes to earn your degree varies depending on the program. For example, our RN-to-BSN program can be completed in 16 months, and our B.S. in Business Administration program may take up to four years, depending on transfer credits.
You can expect to spend about 15 to 20 hours each week on your studies throughout the duration of your online program.
While earning your degree online has many advantages, it requires self-discipline and self-motivation. You must keep track of deadlines and have good communication skills in case you have questions about the subject material. You also need a good internet connection so that you can access your course materials and submit assignments.
While you are enrolled in one of our online programs, you will have access to our library, career services and more. You will also receive personalized attention from our faculty, enrollment counselors, advisors and other staff.
If the program is conducted fully online, there are no requirements to come to campus. However, you are welcome to visit campus at any time to use our library, career services and more.
