Billing & Payment
Complete financial arrangements for tuition and fees for each term are due by the deadline published on the Student Portal. Students receiving financial aid, scholarships, and third-party payments are responsible for any remaining balance on their accounts in excess of the amount awarded or applied. All financial arrangements must be finalized before a student's registration is considered official.
Billing
Beginning December 2010, Aquinas College will deliver schedules, statements, and bills to students using eBill, a convenient, electronic billing system designed to save students both time and money.
Payment
Aquinas College requires that tuition and fees and all other financial obligations be paid in full by the published payment due dates for each academic semester.
Acceptable forms of payment include cash, check, money order, electronic check, credit card, financial aid award credited to the student's account, or a combination thereof for the total amount due.
Financial aid includes scholarships, grants, loans and third-party payment arrangements. Please note: Students who receive financial aid are responsible for any additional amounts which may subsequently be billed resulting from changes in financial aid awards.
Payments may be made in person at the Business Office, by mail, or online through the Student Portal.
Payment in person
Payments in the form of cash, check, or money order are accepted by the Aquinas College Business Office located in the White House. Please make checks and money orders payable to Aquinas College.

Electronic Checks
Payments made by electronic check are accepted online. There is no service fee applied to electronic checks.
Credit and Debit Card Payments

Pending account balances of $400 or less must be paid in full by the published deadline each semester.
Payment Plans (for account balances greater than $400)
As of December 10, 2010, students with a pending account balance of more than $400 may either pay in full or enroll in CASHNet's monthly "MyPaymentPlan" (available through the Student Portal).
MyPaymentPlan requires an initial payment of one-third of the account balance plus a $50 enrollment fee per term. The enrollment fee for payment plans for summer terms is $25. The remaining balance can be paid in three monthly installments. A non-refundable 2.9% service fee applies to credit card payments.
Delinquent (Late) Payments
Delinquent payments require either cash or a cashier's check to satisfy the debt.
All financial obligations must be fulfilled according to contractual agreements before final grades are released, transcript requests are honored, or registration for subsequent terms is official.
Returned Checks
A charge of $25.00 will be assessed for returned checks.
