Feeding

WATS has arranged for the feeding of its staff and students in a public cafeteria on campus. Meals are offered at reasonable prices, though the seminary can not accept final responsibility for campus food services. No student is allowed to sell food on campus while school is in session without prior permission from the Business Office.

Refund Policy

If it becomes necessary for a student to withdraw from school on account of illness or for some other good reason, refund on the semester’s tuition will be figured on a graduated scale according to the number of weeks from the beginning of the semester of session, as follows:

There will be no refund for tuition fees after the first six weeks of each semester.

Scholarship Assistance

Every year West Africa Theological Seminary is pleased to make scholarship assistance available to needy seminary students, through a number of sources and particularly through the generosity of friends of the seminary overseas (both churches and individuals). However, scholarships can normally only be applied for after students have completed at least two modules, and under any circumstances cannot exceed more than 50% of the required student’s payment.
