. Approval of the withdrawal, with the date it becomes effective, must be certified by the Dean of Students in the Divinity School.
Estimate of Expenses
Expenses will vary for each student in the Divinity School according to both individual programs and circumstances and the current cost of living. Single students should budget at least $7,714 per quarter, including fees, books and supplies, and room and board, but not including health insurance. This figure is based on the experience of a number of students enrolled in the University and should be regarded as a minimum amount.
