Global Work Training
All programs are marketplace-driven and help prepare students to enter and advance in the global workforce. Through courses, internships, and career coaches, students gain practical skills and employable qualities to succeed in multinational organizations and companies. One important indicator of a quality education program is the ability of students to be employed upon graduation.
Financial Aid

UUC provides tuition discounts, easy payment plans, and scholarships for students with special financial needs. Students are urged to inquire about the availability of such aid with the Office of Financial Aid. UUC does not participate in any federal or state financial aid programs.

UUC provides tuition discounts of up to 40 percent of the tuition cost based on the economic situation of the country of residence and financial need. The Tuition Discount Scholarship program that UUC offers is effectively carrying out its vision which is “Education for the Global Church.” Many of our students are living in countries other than the U.S. For practical purposes, we do not participate in the Title IV scholarship program.  

UUC only provides scholarships in the form of Tuition Reduction based on the economic situation of the country of residence and financial need. Please see a country tuition discount rate at: http://www.uuc.edu/form/Tuition-Rate.pdf 

Current students have to submit applications for a scholarship for the renewal of aid by the end of May each year. Students who qualify for any form of financial aid from UUC must maintain at least a B or 3.0 GPA to continue receiving aid. Students may contact the Office of Financial Aid via email at finance@uuc.edu for more information.

Payment Plans
  1. Pay in full on or before the first day of class
  2. Pay by term.
  3. Pay monthly.
Cancellation and Refund Policies

The student shall have the right to cancel the agreement and receive a full refund before the first lesson and materials are received. Cancellation is effective on the date written notice of cancellation is sent. If the institution sent the first lesson and materials before an effective cancellation notice was received, the institution shall make a refund within 30 days after the student’s return of the materials.

Pro-Rated Refund Chart for a 10 Week Class

A full refund of all moneys paid is due during the initial two weeks of study in the term in which the student withdraws. After the end of week 2, the prorated refund is based upon the percentage as listed below.

If a student withdraws:

Refundable Tuition Due Student
From Day 1 to the end of Week 2 100%
From Week 3 to the end of Week 4 70%
From Week 5 to the end of Week 6 50%
From Week 7 to the end of Week 10 0%

The following is an example of how the pro-rated refund works for a 10 week class.

  1. If the student pays $450 tuition for the term and withdraws within the first 5 days after registration, then the full $450 tuition will be refunded.
  2. If the student pays $450 tuition for the term and withdraws, depending upon the day the student notifies UUC of their decision to withdraw, the student will receive the following:
Refundable Tuition Due Student
First day to the end of Week 2 100% = $450.00
Week 3 to the end of Week 4 70% = $315
Week 5 to the end of Week 6 50% = $225
Week 7 to the end of Week 10 No Refund
