PAYMENTS
Complete payment of all charges (tuition, fees, housing, etc.)
is due by the first day of class for the fall and spring semesters.
Summer courses are due by the first day of class. Students who will be
receiving
enough financial aid to cover their balance should contact the
Business Office to review current charges and estimated financial aid
to confirm
this status.
Students are not required to visit the Business Office on residence
hall move-in day. Payment arrangements may be made prior to move-in online
or by mail. A list of registered students will be shared with Residence
Life to confirm students’ enrollment status for move-in. Students
are not required to visit the Business Office for written or verbal approval
if registered for classes.
If payment arrangements are not made by the first day of the semester,
students will be assessed a $120 non-payment penalty fee.
PAYMENT PLANS
Students will be assessed a $120 non-payment penalty fee if payment arrangements are not made by the first day of class each semester and charges are not paid in full by November 1 (fall) and May 1 (spring). Payment plans are not available for summer courses. Summer payments are due in full by the first day of class.
Students can choose one of the following payment plan options for each semester (fall and spring):
Option 1: Pay-in-full
Complete payment of all charges (tuition, housing, fees, etc.) is due by the first day of class each semester. Students selecting to pay in full may make their payment by mail (check) or in person at the Business Office (cash or check). Credit card payments (MasterCard, Discover, or American Express) can only be made online and includes a convenience fee. Please note, Visa is not accepted. A no-fee online option is available if making an ACH (checking or savings) payment. To make a payment online, visit www.lewisu.edu and select “CURRENT STUDENTS” to view the “MAKE ONLINE PAYMENTS” link.
Option 2: Financial aid covers complete balance
Students who will be receiving enough financial aid to cover their balance should contact the Business Office to review current charges and estimated financial aid to confirm this status.
Option 3: Monthly payment plan through SallieMae TuitionPay
Lewis University offers a monthly payment plan for students who cannot pay their bills in full by the first day of class. This option allows students to manage their charges with an interest-free monthly payment. Students work directly with SallieMae TuitionPay to sign up and establish monthly payments based on their bill and estimated financial aid.
Each semester that a payment plan is needed, students must enroll online at www.tuitionpayenroll.com; enrollment is not automatic and must be student initiated. A $75 semester fee is charged for use of a payment plan; late payments will be assessed an additional $30 monthly fee.
Students are able to sign up for a payment plan and make subsequent payments completely online. This convenient online option also allows for parents, guardians, or others to be identified as the primary payer. This person has access to view the payment plan arrangement and make subsequent payments. Other benefits include the option for automatic payments, a toll-free number for the student payment plan center, and budgeting for other college expenses. Resident students are no longer required to visit the Business Office prior to moving on campus.
